Significance
A gold-catalyzed intramolecular cyclizative alkynylation of tryptophan, tryptamine, and tryptophol derivatives to azepino[4,5-b]indoles and indoloazocines is reported. While indoloazocines are obtained from terminal alkynes (R1 = H) under Au(III) catalysis (8-endo-dig process), in contrast, azepino[4,5-b]indoles result using Au(I) catalysis. Methyl-substituted alkynes lead to tetracyclic systems or to allene-substituted indoles under Au(I) catalysis. Hypothetical mechanisms for some of these reactions are suggested.
