Abstract
The reaction of Boc-protected ortho-aminostyrenes with alkyllithiums, followed by the addition of specific electrophiles sets up a cascade reaction process between the reacted electrophile and the ortho-amino substituent, facilitating an in situ ring closure and dehydration to generate an indole ring system.
