摘要
We describe a computational DFT investigation on the mechanism of the one-pot synthesis of azepino-indoles catalyzed by [Au(IPr)Cl]/AgOTf (IPr=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl-imidazol-2-ylidene) by the simultaneous construction of the pyrrolyl and seven-membered rings. The mechanism of the final ring-closing event is elucidated, which reveals the counterion-assisted nucleophilic trapping of the carbonyl moiety by the alkenyl-gold species formed insitu. The computational evidence supports the labeling control experiments and highlights the presence of a cyclopropyl-gold-carbenoid intermediate in the final intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen-shift/skeleton-rearrangement sequence.
