A Lewis base-catalyzed [4 + 3] annulation between dinucleophilic indole-2-carboxamides and Morita-Baylis-Hillmann (MBH) carbonates was developed to access densely substituted indole-1,2-fused diazepanones. This reaction is initiated by a N-allylic alkylation of the indole scaffold with MBH carbonates, followed intramolecular Michael cyclization. Notably, selectivity this process controlled removable o-methoxyphenyl (OMP) directing group attached indole-2-carboxamides. The wide scope substrates, high regio- stereoselectivity, diverse transformations highlight potential synthetic utility method in drug discovery.
