Synthesis of Oxazino[4,3-a]indoles and biological applications

Abstract

This review brings together the various pathways to the oxazino[4,3-a]indole motif over the last decades. Representative examples showing the scope of these processes will illustrate the synthetic pathways and the biological activity of the synthesized oxazinoindoles will be mentioned wherever possible.

Keywords: Biological activity; Catalysis; Cyclization; Heterocycle; Lactonization; Oxazinoindole.
