80. Potassium carbonate and activated neutral alumina also facilitated the aza-Michael addition of the Friedel-Crafts adduct 12a in comparable yield and diastereoselectivity; however, the reaction times were longer.
81. For an example of 1,3-cis-selective intramolecular hetero-Michael addition to form a five-membered ring, see: G. Mandville, C. Girard, R. Bloch, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1997, 8, 3665-3673.
82. 2, the reaction of the Friedel-Crafts adduct 12a and indole (8a) to form bis-indole 11a was slow (<5% conversion after 24 h). In chlorobenzene, the Friedel-Crafts adduct 12a, although only sparingly soluble, underwent reaction with indole (8a) to form the bis-indole 11a.
83. Racemic Friedel-Crafts adduct 12a was exposed to N-triflyl phosphoramide 7h in the absence of indole for 2 d. Following cyclization with DBU, isolindoline 10a was isolated in nearly quantitative yield and as a racemate. This provides further evidence that the enhancement of enantiomeric ratio is a result of a stereoablative nucleophilic displacement reaction: in the absence of a nucleophile, no enhancement occurs.
