Abstract

An efficient metal-free tandem thiocyanation/cyclization of tryptamine and tryptophol derivatives has been developed by using Me₃SiCl as the Lewis acid catalyst and N-thiocyanatosaccharin as the electrophilic thiocyanating source under mild conditions. Thus, various C₃-SCN pyrroloindolines and furoindolines were diasteroselectively produced in high yields (up to 96%) within 30 min. The protocol was practical and tolerable for diverse functional groups.
