Oxidative C-H/C-H coupling of azine and indole/pyrrole nuclei: Palladium catalysis and synthesis of eudistomin U

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.2011.555

We have developed a palladium-catalyzed C-H/C-H coupling reaction of indoles or pyrroles with azine N-oxides. The reaction proceeds selectively at the C3 position of indoles/pyrroles and the C2 position of azine N-oxides. Furthermore, we have accomplished
