Let's make 'meri': Metal-free direct alkenylation of indoles was realized by acid-mediated substitution reactions of α-oxo ketene dithioacetals with indoles in trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane, selectively affording β-indolyl mono- and disubstituted α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (see scheme). Condensation of the indolyl/ketene monothioacetals and guanidine nitrate efficiently produced meridianin derivatives.
