Abstract

An efficient methodology for the synthesis of new and highly functionalized 2-azafluorenones via a three-component domino reaction involving C1-aryl acylation, C3-thiolation, and C4-cyanation has been developed. This domino reaction enables successful assembly of three new sigma bonds including a C-S bond and a C-N bond in a one-pot operation. Features of this strategy include the mild condition, convenient one-pot operation, and short reaction periods (15-30 min).
