A mild and general method for the direct alkynylation of azoles such as pyrrole, indole, and 7-azaindole is described here. Using a simple catalytic system such as Pd(OAc)2 (2.5 mol %), P(tBu)2Me·HBF4 (5 mol %), and NaOAc (2 equiv) allowed the regioselective introduction of various alkynyl residues at the C-2 position of pyrroles. Interestingly, C-2 alkynylation was also observed on C-3-substituted indoles, whereas classical C-3 alkynylation was obtained on selected unsubstituted indoles and 7-azaindole. Our methodology has been illustrated by the efficient synthesis of a potential schizophrenia drug (dopamine D-4 inhibitor).

Piperidinylpyrroles of type 3 were synthesized through a modified Paal-Knorr reaction. For the introduction of pyrrole-substituents high yielding transformations including Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions were utilized. Employment of the reagent TosMIC gave access to the regioisomeric oxazolyl derivatives 7 and 11 which showed the highest dopamine D4 receptor binding of the series investigated.
