Decarboxylative/decarbonylative C3-acylation of indoles: Via photocatalysis: A simple and efficient route to 3-acylindoles

A simple and efficient strategy for the preparation of 3-acylindoles via visible-light promoted C3-acylation of free (NH)- and N-substituted indoles with α-oxocarboxylic acids was developed. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups, and the corresponding 3-acylindoles were obtained in high yields under mild conditions.

Mild and selective Ru-catalyzed formylation and Fe-catalyzed acylation of free (N-H) indoles using anilines as the carbonyl source

C3-selective formylation and acylation of free (N-H) indoles under mild conditions can be achieved by using Ru- and Fe-catalyzed oxidative coupling of free (N-H) indoles with anilines, respectively. Both processes are operationally simple, compatible with a variety of functional groups and generally provide the desired products in good yields. 13C-labeling experiments unambiguously established that the carbonylic carbon in the formylation products originated from methyl group of N-methyl aniline.
