Multifunctionalized indole derivatives were prepared by reducing azoarenes in the presence of ketones and bis(neopentylglycolato)diboron (B2nep2) with a catalytic amount of 4,4′-bipyridyl under neutral reaction conditions, where 4,4′-bipyridyl acted as an organocatalyst to activate the B-B bond of B2nep2 and form N,N′-diboryl-1,2-diarylhydrazines as key intermediates. Further reaction of N,N′-diboryl-1,2-diarylhydrazines with ketones afforded N-vinyl-1,2-diarylhydrazines, which rearranged to the corresponding indoles via the Fischer indole mechanism. This organocatalytic system was applied to diverse alkyl cyclic ketones, dialkyl, and alkyl/aryl ketones, including heteroatoms. Methyl alkyl ketones gave the corresponding 2-methyl-3-substituted indoles in a regioselective manner. This protocol allowed us to expand the preparation of indoles having high compatibility with not only electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups but also N- and O-protecting functional groups.

Catalytic asymmetric N-alkylation of indoles and carbazoles represents a family of important but underdeveloped reactions. Herein, we describe a new organocatalytic strategy in which in situ generated aza-para-quinone methides are employed as the alkylating reagent. With the proper choice of a chiral phosphoric acid and an N-protective group, the intermolecular C?N bond formation with various indole and carbazole nucleophiles proceeded efficiently under mild conditions with excellent enantioselectivity and functional-group compatibility. Control experiments and kinetic studies provided important insight into the reaction mechanism.

(Chemical Equation Presented). A new one-pot version of the titled reaction involves heating a mixture of a carbonyl compound, a phenylhydrazine, and the cation exchange resin Amberlite IR 120 in refluxing ethanol. A variety of enolizable aldehydes, and ketones and several substituted phenylhydrazines could thus be converted to the corresponding indoles in excellent yields (70-88%). Reaction times were typically 6-10 h, with the resin being then filtered off and the product isolated after minimal workup.
