A low-temperature, protecting-group-free oxidation of 2-substituted anilines has been developed to generate an electrophilic N-aryl nitrenoid intermediate that can engage in C-NAr bond formation to construct functionalized N-heterocycles. The exposure of 2-substituted anilines to PIFA and trifluoroacetic acid or 10 mol percent Sc(OTf)3 triggers nitrenoid formation, followed by productive and selective C-NAr and C-C bond formation to yield spirocyclic- or bicyclic 3H-indoles or benzazepinones. Our experiments demonstrate the breadth of these oxidative processes, uncover underlying fundamental elements that control selectivity, and demonstrate how the distinct reactivity patterns embedded in N-aryl nitrenoid reactive intermediates can enable access to functionalized 3H-indoles or benzazepinones.

An I(III)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization-migration tandem reaction using Selectfluor as the oxidant was developed that converts unactivated anilines into 3H-indoles is reported herein. The reaction requires as little as 1 mol % of the iodocatalyst and is mild, tolerating pyridine and thiophene functional groups, and the dependence of the diastereoselectivity of the process on the identity of the iodoarene or iodoalkane precatalyst suggests that the catalyst is present for the stereochemical determining C-N bond forming step.

High ortho selectivity for Ir-catalyzed C-H borylations (CHBs) of anilines results when B2eg2 (eg = ethylene glycolate) is used as the borylating reagent in lieu of B2pin2, which is known to give isomeric mixtures with anilines lacking a blocking group at the 4-position. With this modification, high selectivities and good yields are now possible for various anilines, including those with groups at the 2- and 3-positions. Experiments indicate that ArylN(H)Beg species are generated prior to CHB and support the improved ortho selectivity relative to B2pin2 reactions arising from smaller Beg ligands on the Ir catalyst. The lowest-energy transition states (TSs) from density functional theory computational analyses have N-H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions between PhN(H)Beg and O atoms in Beg ligands. Ir-catalyzed CHB of PhN(H)Me with B2eg2 is also highly ortho-selective. 1H NMR experiments show that N-borylation fully generates PhN(Me)Beg prior to CHB. The TS with the lowest Gibbs energy was the ortho TS, in which the Beg unit is oriented anti to the bipyridine ligand.
Rh2(II)-catalyzed ester migration to afford 3 H-indoles from trisubstituted styryl azides
Kong, Chen,Driver, Tom G.
, p. 802 - 805 (2015/04/27)
Rh2(II)-Complexes trigger the formation of 3H-indoles from ortho-alkenyl substituted aryl azides. This reaction occurs through a 4π-electron-5-atom electrocyclization of the rhodium N-aryl nitrene followed by a [1,2]-migration to afford only 3H-indoles. The selectivity of the migration is dependent on the identity of the β-styryl substituent.
Efficient synthesis of 3 H-indoles enabled by the lead-mediated α-arylation of β-ketoesters or γ-lactams using aryl azides

The development of a lead-mediated α-arylation reaction between aryl azides and β-ketoesters or γ-lactams that facilitates the formation of 3H-indoles is disclosed. Twenty-five examples are included which demonstrate the generality of this reaction to access aryl azides bearing tetrasubstituted o-alkyl substituents. When paired with a Staudinger reduction, this reaction streamlines the synthesis of functionalized 3H-indoles.
Development of a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction between 2-azidoarylboronic pinacolate esters and vinyl triflates to enable the synthesis of [2,3]-fused indole heterocycles
Jana, Navendu,Nguyen, Quyen,Driver, Tom G.
, p. 2781 - 2791 (2014/04/17)
The scope and limitations of a Suzuki reaction between 2-azidoarylboronic acid pinacolate esters and vinyl triflates are reported. This cross-coupling reaction enables the regioselective synthesis of indoles after a subsequent RhII2-catalyzed sp2-C-H bond amination reaction.
