Ortho -selective C-H arylation of phenols with N -carboxyindoles under Br?nsted acid- or Cu(i)-catalysis

Control over chemo- and regioselectivity is a critical issue in the heterobiaryl synthesis via C-H oxidative coupling. To address this challenge, a strategy to invert the normal polarity of indoles in the heterobiaryl coupling was developed. With N-carboxyindoles as umpoled indoles, an exclusively ortho-selective coupling with phenols has been realized, employing a Br?nsted acid- or Cu(i)-catalyst (as low as 0.01 mol%). A range of phenols and N-carboxyindoles coupled with exceptional efficiency and selectivity at ambient temperature and the substrates bearing redox-active aryl halides (-Br and -I) smoothly coupled in an orthogonal manner. Notably, preliminary examples of atropselective heterobiaryl coupling have been demonstrated, based on a chiral disulfonimide or a Cu(i)/chiral bisphosphine catalytic system. The reaction was proposed to occur through SN2′ substitution or a Cu(i)-Cu(iii) cycle, with Br?nsted acid or Cu(i) catalysts, respectively.

An iron(iii)-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction of indoles with benzylamines to prepare 3-aminoindole derivatives

We report a green cascade approach to prepare a variety of 3-aminoindole derivatives in good to excellent yields through an iron(iii)-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction of 2-arylindoles and primary benzylamines under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies show that a cascade reaction involves a tert-butyl nitrite (TBN)-mediated nitrosation of 2-substituted indoles and a 1,5-hydrogen shift to afford indolenine oximes, sequential iron(iii)-catalyzed condensation and a 1,5-hydrogen shift over four steps in a one-pot reaction. The reaction shows a broad substrate scope of indoles and benzylamines and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. Moreover, the reaction is easily performed at the gram scale without producing waste after the reaction is completed. The 3-aminoindole product is purified by simple extraction, washing, and recrystallization without flash column chromatography. A double imine ligand containing the 3-aminoindole unit is facile to obtain in a 52% yield in one step. The present method highlights readily available starting materials, a simple purification procedure, and the usage of cheap, nontoxic, and environmentally benign iron(iii) catalysts. This journal is

Iminyl-radicals by electrochemical decarboxylation of α-imino-oxy acids: construction of indole-fused polycyclics

Iminyl radicals are reactive intermediates that can be used for the construction of various valuable heterocycles. Herein, the electrochemical decarboxylation of α-imino-oxy acids for the generation of iminyl radicals has been accomplished under exogenous-oxidant- and metal-free conditions through the use ofnBu4NBr as a mediator. The resulting iminyl radicals undergo intramolecular cyclization smoothly with the adjacent (hetero)arenes to afford a series of indole-fused polycyclic compounds.

Synthesis and Catalytic Use of Polar Phosphinoferrocene Amidosulfonates Bearing Bulky Substituents at the Ferrocene Backbone

Anionic phosphinoferrocene amidosulfonates bearing sterically demanding tert-butyl substituents in positions 3 and 3′ of the ferrocene scaffold, viz. rac-(Et3NH)[Fe(η5-tBuC5H3PR2)(η5-tBuC5H3C(O)NHCH2SO3)] (R = phenyl, cyclohexyl), were synthesized by amidation of the corresponding phosphinocarboxylic acids, [Fe(η5-tBuC5H3PR2)(η5-tBuC5H3CO2H)]. These ditopic polar phosphinoferrocenes and their non-tert-butylated analogues have been used as ligands to prepare zwitterionic (η3-allyl)palladium(II) complexes [Pd(η3-C3H5){Fe(η5-R′C5H3PR2)(η5-R′C5H3C(O)NHCH2SO3)}] (R′ = H, tBu; R = Ph, Cy). Depending on the isolation procedure and crystallization conditions, some complexes were isolated in two isomeric forms which differed in the coordination of the amidosulfonate pendant group, where either amide or sulfonated oxygen ligated the Pd(II) center. The preference for coordination of the amide or sulfonate oxygen atoms has been explained by the interplay of electrostatic and solvation effects and further supported by DFT calculations. The (η3-allyl)PdII complexes have been applied as defined precatalysts for Pd-catalyzed C-H arylation of an unprotected indole with aryl iodides in polar solvents. Under the optimized reaction conditions at 100 °C in water, C2-arylation proceeded selectively with various aryl iodides to produce the respective 2-arylindoles in acceptable yields at a low catalyst loading (1 mol % Pd) and in the absence of any phase transfer agent. The catalyst possessing tert-butyl groups at the ferrocene core and an electron-rich dicyclohexylphosphino group exhibited the best catalytic performance.

Modular counter-Fischer?indole synthesis through radical-enolate coupling

A single-electron transfer mediated modular indole formation reaction from a 2-iodoaniline derivative and a ketone has been developed. This transition-metal-free reaction shows a broad substrate scope and unconventional regioselectivity trends. Moreover, important functional groups for further transformation are tolerated under the reaction conditions. Density functional theory studies reveal that the reaction proceeds by metal coordination, which converts a disfavored 5-endo-trig cyclization to an accessible 7-endo-trig process.

Reductive cyanation of organic chlorides using CO2 and NH3 via Triphos–Ni(I) species

Cyano-containing compounds constitute important pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and organic materials. Traditional cyanation methods often rely on the use of toxic metal cyanides which have serious disposal, storage and transportation issues. Therefore, there is an increasing need to develop general and efficient catalytic methods for cyanide-free production of nitriles. Here we report the reductive cyanation of organic chlorides using CO2/NH3 as the electrophilic CN source. The use of tridentate phosphine ligand Triphos allows for the nickel-catalyzed cyanation of a broad array of aryl and aliphatic chlorides to produce the desired nitrile products in good yields, and with excellent functional group tolerance. Cheap and bench-stable urea was also shown as suitable CN source, suggesting promising application potential. Mechanistic studies imply that Triphos-Ni(I) species are responsible for the reductive C-C coupling approach involving isocyanate intermediates. This method expands the application potential of reductive cyanation in the synthesis of functionalized nitrile compounds under cyanide-free conditions, which is valuable for safe synthesis of (isotope-labeled) drugs.

Pd-catalyzed C–H bond activation of Indoles for Suzuki reaction

Abstract: We present a practical method for Suzuki coupling by which unprotected or N-protected indoles may be selectively arylated in the C2-position through direct C–H bond activation by electrophilic Pd(TFA) 2 catalyst. The protocol is operationally simple as it is carried out in dioxane/water mixture, and air as the sole oxidant at room temperature. Various 2-arylated indoles were obtained in good yields. The protocol works for benzofuran, pyrrole and thiophene also. Graphic abstract: Selective C-2 arylation of heterocycles using Pd(II) catalyst via C–H activation was performed under ambient condition. C3–C2 migration of organopalladium intermediate controls the reaction pathway.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

One-Pot Reaction between N-Tosylhydrazones and 2-Nitrobenzyl Bromide: Route to NH-Free C2-Arylindoles

A one-pot Barluenga coupling between N-tosylhydrazones and nitro-benzyl bromide, followed by deoxygenation of ortho-nitrostyrenes, and subsequent cyclization has been developed, providing a new way to synthesize various C2-arylindoles. This method exhibits a good substrate scope and functional group tolerance, and it allows an access to NH-free indoles, which can present a potential utility in medicinal chemistry applications.

Mechanochemical Pd(II)-Catalyzed Direct and C-2-Selective Arylation of Indoles

A mechanochemical method for the preparation of synthetically useful 2-arylindoles is developed using Pd(II) as the catalyst in the absence of phosphine ligands in a ball-mill. The developed protocol is highly C-2 selective and tolerant of structural variations with electron-rich and electron-deficient substituents both in indoles and iodoarenes. Arylation is possible in both unprotected indoles and N-protected indoles with the electron-donating group with the former substrate being relatively slower to react and little less yielding. Indoles with a deactivated five-membered ring could also take part in the reaction with ease. The scalability of the reaction was demonstrated by conducting the reaction in the gram scale. In general, the reactions were achieved in a shorter time than the conventional methods.

Palladium-Catalyzed C2?H Arylation of Unprotected (N?H)-Indoles “On Water” Using Primary Diamantyl Phosphine Oxides as a Class of Primary Phosphine Oxide Ligands

We present the Pd-catalyzed arylation of (N?H)-indoles with functionalized haloarenes “on water” using hitherto untested primary diamantyl phosphine oxides (PPO) as ligands. Remarkable C2?H arylation selectivity was achieved by employing functionalized iodoarenes and N-unprotected indoles. We provide evidence that the in situ generated oxide of (9-hydroxydiamant-4-yl)phosphine L1 is key for the reaction efficiency by comparing a set of diamantane-based compounds structurally related to L1. Our results demonstrate the power of the new PPO ligands for the C?H functionalization of unprotected (N?H)-heterocycles.
