Abstract

Herein, we disclose the synthesis of selenopyrano[2,3-b]indol-4(9H)-ones and their aryl derivatives using seleno-pyran ring formation via an in situ-generated selenide reacting directly with α-halo-β-ynones of substituted indoles providing selenopyrano[2,3-b]indol-4(9H)-ones. Subsequent direct C-H arylation of the these compounds by palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction enables the incorporation of aryl substituents on the selenopyrano[2,3-b]indol-4(9H)-ones scaffolds with moderate yields. This new chemo-type incorporating an indole ring may be useful for the biological screenings.
