[reaction: see text] A novel one-pot synthesis of indole systems via tandem hydroformylation/Fischer indole synthesis starting from olefins and arylhydrazines is described. This tandem procedure leads directly to 3-substituted indoles if unsubstituted phenylhydrazine is used and to 3,5- respectively 3,7-disubstituted indoles if para- or ortho-substituted arylhydrazines are used.

Combination of enantioselective allylation reactions with a tandem hydroformylation-Fischer indole synthesis sequence as a highly diversity-oriented strategy for the synthesis of tryptamines and homologues was explored. This modular approach allows the substituents at C3 of the indole core, the type of the amine moiety, and the distance of the amine moiety to the indole core in the final synthetic step to be defined. The starting materials required for the hydroformylation step were synthesized via iridium catalyzed enantioselective allylic substitution reactions in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.

The tandem hydroformylation-Fischer indolisation protocol is used in the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indoles. After hydroformylation of selected olefins to form alpha-branched aldehydes in a one-pot procedure these are condensed with phenylhydrazine to give hydrazones. Upon acid-promoted [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement indolenine intermediates with quaternary centres in the 3-position are formed, which, after selective Wagner-Meerwein-type rearrangement of one of the substituents from the 3- to the 2-position, lead to 2,3-disubstituted indoles.

[reaction: see text] The sequence of hydroformylation and Fischer indole synthesis starting from amino olefins and aryl hydrazines is described. In a convergent manner, the two units bearing pharmacologically relevant substituents are assembled in the final indolization step. This modular and diversity-oriented approach to tryptamines and homotryptamines can be conducted in water and allows synthesis of branched and nonbranched tryptamines as well as tryptamine-based pharmaceuticals such as the 5-HT1D agonist L 775 606.
