Abstract: 1-Acyl-4-tetrahydroindolyldiynes (available from cross-coupling of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole with 1-acyl-4-bromo-1,3-diynes) undergo oxidative [4+2]-cycloaddition with benzylamine in KOH/DMSO or K3PO4/DMSO systems (80°C, 4 h) to afford 2-acyl-6-phenyl-5-tetrahydroindolyl-pyridines in ∼40% yields. Non-catalyzed reaction of the same reactants in boiling MeOH (4 h) or in DABCO/MeCN system (reflux, 1 h) gives 3-benzylaminoalk-2-en-4-ynones in ∼40% yields.

Keywords: tetrahydroindole, tetrahydroindolyldiyne, benzylamine, tetrahydroindolylpyridine, 3-benzylamino-2, 4-enyne.
