A straightforward RhIII-catalyzed strategy was developed for the site-selective C4-alkylation and C2-annulation of indole by using electronically variable diazo esters. The transformation was accomplished with the assist of an oxime directing group at the C3 position of the indole core with wide scope and functional-group tolerance. The method directly provided an indolopyridone core. The selectivity was triggered by the reactivity of the diazo coupling partner.

Using 5% aq. NaOH, a simple method for the transformation of 3-cyanoacetylindoles 2(a-e) into 3-acetylindoles 3 (a-e), in good yields, is reported. Tetrabutylammoniumbromide (TBAB) is found to be an efficient phase transfer catalyst for the synthesis of N-alkyl derivatives 5(a-t) of 3-acetylindoles 3(a-e) giving products in excellent yields. 2 (a-e) were themselves obtained from simple indoles 1 (a-e) by reaction with cyano acetic acid in the presence of propionic anhydride at 100 °C for 5-10 min. Partial hydrolysis of 2 (a-e) under hot acidic conditions yielded the corresponding carboxamides α-(3-indolecarboxoyl)acetamides 4(a-e). Which could be readily transformed into the respective 3(a-e) by refluxing with 5% aq. NaOH for 2-2.5 h.
