The purely inorganic copper oxide on silica catalyzes the reaction of methyl phenyldiazoacetate with N-methyl indole under mild reaction conditions, giving the alkylation (formally a C-H insertion) in position 3, and the catalyst can be recovered and reused at least in 5 consecutive runs with only minor loss in activity. The scope of the reaction includes various diazo compounds and indole or pyrrole derivatives leading to alkylation or cyclopropanation depending on the heterocycle structure. An alternative mechanism, without reduction of Cu(ii) to Cu(i), is proposed on the basis of the obtained results. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.

Oxidative [3+3] cycloadditions offer an efficient route for six-membered-ring formation. This approach has been realized based on an electrochemical oxidative coupling of indoles/enamines with active methylene compounds followed by tandem 6π-electrocyclization leading to the synthesis of dihydropyrano[4,3-b]indoles and 2,3-dihydrofurans. The radical–radical cross-coupling of the radical species generated by anodic oxidation combined with the cathodic generation of the base from O2 allows for mild reaction conditions for the synthesis of structurally complex heterocycles.

A Schiff-base nickel(II)-phosphene-catalyzed chemodivergent C-H functionalization and cyclopropanation of aromatic heterocycles is reported in moderate to excellent yields and very good regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. The weak, noncovalent interaction between the phosphene ligand and Ni center facilitates the ligand dissociation, generating the electronically and coordinatively unsaturated active catalyst. The proposed mechanisms for the reported reactions are in good accord with the experimental results and theoretical calculations, providing a suitable model of stereocontrol for the cyclopropanation reaction.
