ABSTRACT
Indoles are privileged chemical entities in natural products and drug discovery. Indole-fused heterocycles, particularly seven-membered ones, have received increasing attention due to their distinctive chemical characteristics and wide spectrum of bioactivities. However, the synthetic access to these compounds is highly limited. Herein, we report a unique multicomponent reaction (MCR) for modular assembly of indole-fused seven-membered heterocycles. In this process, indole, formaldehyde and amino hydrochloride could assemble rapidly to yield indole-fused oxadiazepines, and another addition of sodium thiosulphate would furnish indole-fused thiadiazepines. The biological evaluation disclosed the promising anticancer activity of these compounds. Furthermore, this MCR could be applicable in the late-stage and selective modifications of peptides. Therefore, this work provides a powerful strategy for indole functionalization and valuable tool for construction of seven-membered heterocycles.
