A palladium-catalyzed 2-alkylation of indoles with α-bromo esters is developed by employing a P,P=O ligand. The method features excellent regioselectivities, mild reaction conditions, and good functional group compatibility. The employment of the P,P=O ligand as well as 4? molecular sieves were crucial for the success of the transformation. Mechanistic studies indicate the reaction proceed through a radical pathway.

A cobalt-catalyzed annulation of the C(sp2)-H/N-H bond of indoloamides with alkynes assisted by 8-aminoquinoline is reported for the synthesis of six-membered indololactams. The use of salicylaldehyde as the ligand is crucial for this transformation. The protocol has a broad scope for both alkynes and indoles. Preparing an active Co complex illustrates that salicylaldehyde plays a key role in the C-H activation step. The synthetic applications are proven by the gram-scale reaction and one-step construction of the multicyclic 5-HT3 receptor antagonist.

An isothiourea-catalyzed enantioselective annulation protocol using indolin-2-imines with a series of α,β-unsaturated p-nitrophenyl esters for the synthesis of tetrahydro-α-carbolinones was developed. Using 5 mol % of the isothiourea HyperBTM as the Lewis base catalyst, this process allows the enantioselective preparation of a range of C(4)-substituted tetrahydro-α-carbolinones in good to excellent yield and with high enantioselectivity (20 examples, 32-99% yield and up to 99:1 er).
