Abstract
The smooth and regioselective synthesis of 2-(2-oxoethyl)-1H-indole-3-carbaldehydes via silver-catalyzed 6-endo-dig acetalization-cyclization reaction followed by immediate hydrolysis of the unstable 1-alkoxypyrano[4,3-b]indole intermediates is described.
Key words
2-alkynyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehydes - 2-(2-oxoethyl)-1H-indole-3-carbaldehydes - acetalization - hydrolysis

Typical Procedure
for the Synthesis of 2-(2-Oxoethyl)-1
H
-indole-3-carbaldehydes 2
A solution
of the requisite 2-alkynyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde 1 (0.3 mmol), MeOH (0.0192 g, 0.6 mmol), AgCF3CO2 (3.3
mg, 0.015 mmol) in DCE (3 mL) was irradiated in a closed 15 mL vessel
in domestic microwave oven (model DAEWOO KOR6305A) at 600 W for
10-15 min. After heating, the solution was cooled to r.t.,
filtered through a silica gel pad, the solvent evaporated, and the
solid residue purified by column chromatography to give 2a-h.
