摘要：

A facile and efficient cyclization of homotryptamines and their derivatives has been established for the construction of 4a-chlorotetrahydropyrido[2,3-b]indoles and 3,3-spirocyclic 3H-indoles using hypervalent iodine (1-chloro-1,2-benziodoxol-3-one) under mild conditions. The broad substrate scope and successful gram-scale experiment grant this metal-free transformation great potential for further application.
