A method has been devised for the microwave-assisted, continuous-flow preparation of indole alkaloids by a two-step aryl amination/cross-coupling sequence of bromoalkenes and 2-bromoanilines. This process requires both the presence of a metal-lined flow tube (a 1180 micron capillary) and the Pd PEPPSI-IPr catalyst; without either, the catalyst or the film, there is zero turnover of this catalytic process. A silver film has been shown to provide some conversion (48-62%), but optimal results (quantitative) across a variety of bromoalkenes and bromoanilines were achieved by using a highly porous palladium film. Possible roles for the Pd film are considered, as is the interplay of the catalyst and the film.

Ruthenium(II) hydride complexes bearing a pyrazolyl-(2-indol-1-yl)-pyridine ligand were synthesized and structurally characterized by NMR analysis and X-ray single crystal crystallographic determinations. These complexes efficiently catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles and secondary alcohols, respectively, exhibiting highly catalytic activity with a broad substrate scope. The present work has established a strategy to construct highly active transition metal complex catalysts and provides an atom-economical and environmentally benign protocol for the synthesis of aromatic N-heterocyclic compounds and ketones.

3-(o-Trifluoroacetamidoaryl)-1-propargylic esters have been used as common synthetic intermediates for the preparation of a variety of 3-unsubstituted 2-substituted indoles. Treating ethyl 3-(o-trifluoroacetamidoaryl)-1-propargylic carbonates unsubstituted or containing an aryl substituent at the propargylic carbon with piperazines and Pd(PPh3)4 in THF at 80 °C affords 2-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)indoles in excellent yields. Good to excellent yields of 2-aminomethylindoles are also obtained with other secondary amines. Ethyl 3-(o-trifluoroacetamidoaryl)-1-propargylic carbonates bearing an alkyl substituent at the propargylic carbon and ethyl 3-(o-trifluoroacetamidoaryl)-1-propargylic acetates disubstituted at the propargylic carbon give 2-vinylic indoles with the Pd(OAc)2/PPh3 combination and Et3N in THF at 80 °C. Formation of 2-vinylic indoles is quite stereoselective, generating trans vinylic derivatives, at least with the substrates that we have investigated. In the presence of formic acid, Et3N, and Pd(PPh3)4 in MeCN at 80 °C, ethyl 3-(o-trifluoroacetamidoaryl)-1-propargylic carbonates afford 2-alkylindoles in good to excellent yields.
