Counterion Control of t-BuO-Mediated Single Electron Transfer to Nitrostilbenes to Construct N-Hydroxyindoles or Oxindoles

tert-Butoxide unlocks new reactivity patterns embedded in nitroarenes. Exposure of nitrostilbenes to sodium tert-butoxide was found to produce N-hydroxyindoles at room temperature without an additive. Changing the counterion to potassium changed the reaction outcome to yield solely oxindoles through an unprecedented dioxygen-transfer reaction followed by a 1,2-phenyl migration. Mechanistic experiments established that these reactions proceed via radical intermediates and suggest that counterion coordination controls whether an oxindole or N-hydroxyindole product is formed.

Regioselective reaction of 2-indolylcyanocuprates with electrophiles

The reaction of 2-indolylcyanocuprate with electrophiles was found to give rise to 2- and 3-substituted indoles in regioselective manner.

Investigation of the reaction of N-substituted indolylborates: Palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and intramolecular alkyl migration reactions

The palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of indolylborates with various N-protecting groups was investigated, where N-Methyl, N-methoxy, and N-tert-butoxycarbonyl groups were found to be useful. However, triethyl(1-methoxymethylindol-2- yl)borate could not be used for this reaction. It was also found that the alkyl migration reaction of trialkyl(1- methoxymethylindol-2-yl)borate produced 2-alkyl-1-methyl-indole accompanied by the unexpected reduction of 1-methoxymethyl group to 1-methyl group.

The use of the N-substituted triethyl-(indol-2-yl)borate for the palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reaction

The influence of N-substituent of triethyl(indol-2-yl)borate (2) on the palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reaction was examined, and an efficiency of triethyl(1-tert-butoxycarbonylindol-2-yl)borate (2e) could be shown.
