A mechanistically unique functionalization strategy for a benzylic C(sp3)-H bond has been developed based on the facile oxidation event of indole substrates. This novel pathway was initiated by efficient radical generation at the benzylic position of the substrate, with subsequent transition metal catalysis to complete the overall transformation. Ultimately, an aryl or an acyl group could be effectively delivered from an aryl (pseudo)halide or an acid anhydride coupling partner, respectively. The developed method utilizes mild conditions and exhibits a wide substrate scope for both substituted indoles and C(sp2)-based reaction counterparts. Mechanistic studies have shown that competitive hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) processes, which are frequently encountered in conventional methods, are not involved in the product formation process of the developed strategy.

The first example of versatile synthesis of functionalized β-carbolines and γ-carbolines via redox-free Pd-catalyzed C-H addition of indole to nitrile/cyclization sequences is reported. A wide range of functionalized β-carbolines and γ-carbolines can be prepared from readily accessible indoles and nitriles in good to excellent yields under the optimal conditions.
