Catalytic annulation of isoxazoles with alkynes is an efficient methodology for the assembly N-heterocyclic architectures, and most reactions require noble-metal catalysts. Herein, we disclose a copper-catalyzed formal [4 + 1] 1,6-diynes atom-economical construction biologically important pyrrolo[3,4-b]indoles in high yields via vinyl cation intermediates, which significantly different from previous annulations involving α-imino metal carbene intermediates. Interestingly, preliminary results have been obtained related catalytic atroposelective transformation. Computational mechanistic studies are employed to elucidate reaction mechanism.
