Synthesis method of 2-arylindole derivative

The invention discloses a novel synthesis method of a 2-arylindole derivative. The method comprises the following steps: in an organic solvent, taking an N-(2-pyrimidyl)indole compound and an aryl silane compound as raw materials, taking a catalyst, an oxidizing agent and an activating agent as a catalytic system, carrying out heating and refluxing under stirring, carrying out thin-layer chromatography (TLC) tracking detection until the reaction is complete, and carrying out post-treatment on a reaction solution to obtain the 2-arylindole derivative, wherein the main catalyst is a metal cobaltsalt, the oxidizing agent is copper acetate, and the activating agent is potassium fluoride or cesium fluoride. In the method, cheap metal cobalt is used for catalysis, an oxidative coupling reactionbetween the indole derivative and the aryl silane is realized, and a series of functionalized 2-arylindole compounds are prepared, and the synthesis method of the framework structure is enriched. Simultaneously, the invention provides the novel synthesis method which has low cost, is easy to achieve and is environmentally friendly for synthesis of 2-arylindole compound.

Direct Hiyama Cross-Coupling of (Hetero)arylsilanes with C(sp2)-H Bonds Enabled by Cobalt Catalysis

We report a chelation-assisted C-H arylation of various indoles with sterically and electronically diverse (hetero)arylsilanes enabled by cost-effective Cp*-free cobalt catalysis. Key to the success of this strategy is the judicious choice of copper(II) fluoride as a bifunctional sliane activator and catalyst reoxidant. This methodology features a broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility. The synthetic versatility of this protocol has been highlighted by the gram-scale synthesis and late-stage diversification of biologically active molecules.

Cobalt-catalyzed intramolecular decarbonylative coupling of acylindoles and diarylketones through the cleavage of C-C bonds

We report here cobalt-N-heterocyclic carbene catalytic systems for the intramolecular decarbonylative coupling through the chelation-assisted C-C bond cleavage of acylindoles and diarylketones. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups such as alkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl groups, giving the decarbonylative products in moderate to excellent yields. This transformation involves the cleavage of two C-C bonds and formation of a new C-C bond without the use of noble metals, thus reinforcing the potential application of decarbonylation as an effective tool for C-C bond formation.

Nickel-Catalyzed Intramolecular Coupling of Sulfones via the Extrusion of Sulfur Dioxide

We describe a method for intramolecular desulfonylative coupling using bis(cyclooctadiene)nickel as a catalyst. A broad range of aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic sulfones can be utilized as substrates in this process. This method provides an atom-economical route to the synthesis of various biaryls and an efficient tool for the catalytic conversion of sulfonyl groups, representing a significant advancement in organic synthesis.

Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Direct C-H Arylation of Indoles with Arylsilanes in Water

The ruthenium(II)-catalyzed, heteroatom-directed C-H arylation of indoles with arylsilanes in water has been developed. The method represents the first example of a ruthenium(II)-catalyzed oxidative C-H arylation in water/aqueous media as a sustainable solvent for C-H functionalization. The reaction enables the synthesis of a wide range of indoles with exquisite selectivity for arylation at the C-2 position. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate reversibility of the C-H ruthenation step under the developed reaction conditions.

A wide range of substrates, including unreactive arenes, are well tolerated, which enables the construction of the coupling products efficiently. This new strategy provides an alternative and versatile approach to construct biaryls using inexpensive cobalt catalyst.

Ru-catalysed C-H arylation of indoles and pyrroles with boronic acids: Scope and mechanistic studies

The Ru-catalysed C2-H arylation of indoles and pyrroles by using boronic acids under oxidative conditions is reported. This reaction can be applied to tryptophan derivatives and tolerates a wide range of functional groups on both coupling partners, including bromides and iodides, which can be further derivatised selectively. New indole-based ruthenacyclic complexes are described and investigated as possible intermediates in the reaction. Mechanistic studies suggest the on-cycle intermediates do not possess a para-cymene ligand and that the on-cycle metalation occurs through an electrophilic attack by the Ru centre. High tolerance: An oxidative, Ru-catalysed, and highly selective C-H arylation of indoles and pyrroles is accomplished by using boronic acids (see picture; pym=2-pyrimidyl). The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups, including aryl iodides and tryptophan derivatives. New indole-based ruthenacycles are described and their role in the mechanism is investigated.
