Herein, Rh(III)-catalyzed C4-selective C?H allylation and prenylation of indoles by using a weak carbonyl coordination directing group have been reported. By employing 5-methylene-1,3-dioxan-2-ones, 4-vinyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-ones and 2-methyl-2,3-butadiene as scalable cross-coupling partners, these divergent synthesis protocols proceed smoothly under redox-neutral reaction conditions, delivering various allylated and prenylated indoles in moderate to satisfied yields. This transformation exhibits high functional-groups compatibility and broad substrate scope. Scale-up experiment and mechanistic studies were also accomplished. (Figure presented.).

Described herein is a decarbonylative tandem C-H bis-arylsulfenylation of indole at the C2 and C4 C-H bonds through the use of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl iridium dichloride dimer ([Cp?IrCl2]2) catalyst and disulfides. A new sacrificial electron-rich adamantoyl-directing group facilitates indole C-H bis-functionalization with a traceless in situ removal. Various differently substituted disulfides can be easily accommodated in this reaction by a coordination to Ir(III) through the formation of six- and five-membered iridacycles at the C2 and C4 positions, respectively. Mechanistic studies show that a C-H activation-induced C-C activation is involved in the catalytic cycle.

A copper-mediated 2,3-difunctionalization of indoles to afford 3-halogenated 2,3′-biindoles is described herein. The protocol uses readily available feedstocks and a naturally abundant copper catalyst system, which allows the regioselective formation of C-C and C-X (X = Cl & Br) bonds in one single operation. Here the copper metal salt serves not only as a catalyst but also as a reactant to provide the source of halogen. This operationally simple procedure avoids the utilization of environmentally unfriendly reagents and displays good functional group compatibility. Noteworthily, the introduction of halogen into molecules would offer great potential for further chemical transformations. This journal is
