ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Chemical Reactivity of 5-Methoxy-2-vinyl-4-azaindoles.
Abstract 2-Vinyl-4-azaindoles are less reactive with dienophiles than 2-vinylindoles. 5-Methoxy-2-vinyl-4-azaindole 2a and its 1-methyl derivative 2a reacts with N-phenylmaleimide to yield cycloadducts only under vigorous conditions. 2b produces a cycloadduct with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, while 2a yields a Michael-type adduct. Reactions with more reactive dienophiles gave only polymeric products.
