An efficient and facile gold(I)-catalyzed one-pot cascade protocol has been developed for the synthesis of tryptamine-fused polycyclic privileged structures through the treatment of substituted tryptamines and 2-ethynylbenzoic acids or 2-ethynylphenylacetic acids. This strategy features the formation of one C鈥揅 bond and two C鈥揘 bonds with high yields and broad substrate tolerance. The selected reduced target molecules are validated to perform as 伪1-adrenergic receptors antagonists. The most potent one, 4bh, exhibits an IC50 value of 277 nM on 伪1A subtype with a selectivity ratio of 15.8 over 伪1B subtype.
