Abstract:
The boron trifluoride diethyl etherate catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of diethyl 2-(dialkoxyphosphorylethynyl)-2-arylaminomalonates afforded a series of novel 3-phosphonylated indoles, diethyl 2-3-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)-1H-indol-2-yl]propanedioates. Decarboxylation of the latter compounds resulted in the formation of ethyl 2-3-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)-1H-indol-2-yl]acetates.
