Synthesis of indoles through acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling catalyzed by nickel on silica-alumina

The high atom-economical formation of indoles from anilines and diols was described with affordable and easy to handle Ni/SiO2-Al2O3. After optimization, 2,3-dimethylindole was isolated with an excellent 98% yield in neat conditions. The scope of the reaction was studied and 13 indoles were isolated in 16–80% yields.

Palladium-catalyzed dearomative allylation of indoles with cyclopropyl acetylenes: access to indolenine derivatives

A palladium-catalyzed redox-neutral allylic alkylation of indoles with cyclopropyl acetylenes has been disclosed. Various 1,3-diene indolenine framework bearing a quaternary stereocenter at the C3 position were synthesized straightforwardly in good to excellent yields with high regio- and stereoselectivities. The reaction could be further expanded to the dearomatization of naphthols to synthesize functionalized cyclohexadienones with 1,3-diene motifs. The reaction exhibited high atom economy and good functional group tolerance.

Allylic and Allenylic Dearomatization of Indoles Promoted by Graphene Oxide by Covalent Grafting Activation Mode

The site-selective allylative and allenylative dearomatization of indoles with alcohols was performed under carbocatalytic regime in the presence of graphene oxide (GO, 10 wt percent loading) as the promoter. Metal-free conditions, absence of stoichiometric additive, environmentally friendly conditions (H2O/CH3CN, 55 °C, 6 h), broad substrate scope (33 examples, yield up to 92 percent) and excellent site- and stereoselectivity characterize the present methodology. Moreover, a covalent activation model exerted by GO functionalities was corroborated by spectroscopic, experimental and computational evidences. Recovering and regeneration of the GO catalyst through simple acidic treatment was also documented.

Fe-Catalyzed Sequential C(sp3)-H/N-H Annulation of 2-Methylindoles with Ethyl Trifluoropyruvate at Room Temperature: Construction of Pyrrolo[1,2-α]indoles

An efficient and benign iron-catalyzed room-temperature method was developed for direct sequential C(sp3)-H/N-H annulation to construct pyrroloindole scaffolds. This strategy features cheap and readily available raw materials and mild room-temperature reaction conditions and provides a green and practical method for the one-pot rapid synthesis of a wide range of diversely functionalized pyrrolo[1,2-α]indoles.

B(C6F5)3-Catalyzed Direct C3 Alkylation of Indoles and Oxindoles

The direct C3 alkylation of indoles and oxindoles is a challenging transformation, and only a few direct methods exist. Utilizing the underexplored ability of triaryl boranes to mediate the heterolytic cleavage of α-nitrogen C-H bonds in amines, we have developed a catalytic approach for the direct C3 alkylation of a wide range of indoles and oxindoles using amine-based alkylating agents. We also employed this borane-catalyzed strategy in an alkylation-ring opening cascade.

The in situ formed arylallene intermediate omitted the need to install leaving groups on the allylic compounds and employ extra oxidants to oxidize the allylic C-H bonds. The reaction exhibited good functional group tolerance and high atom economy. Moreover, the reaction was further expanded to synthesize pyrroloindolines and furanoindolines.

Reactivity of tetrahydrochromeno[2,3-b]indoles: Chromic indicators of cyanide

The synthesis and reactivity of a tetrahydrochromeno[2,3-b]indoles are reported. Evidence for reversible ring-opening is based on H/D exchange and trapping experiments. These compounds readily undergo reaction with tetra-n-butylammonium cyanide. The cyanide reaction is 10-100× faster when the solution is irradiated with 350 nm light. Reaction with trimethylsilyl cyanide occurs only with UV irradiation demonstrating photoreactivity. The rate of tetrahydrochromeno[2,3-b]indole ring-opening is greater for (i) Me substitution at the hemiaminal carbon (compared to Ph), and (ii) substitution of fluorine at the 9-position of the indole. Under acidic conditions, the ring-opened indolium ion is observed. Copyright

Oxidative palladium(II)-catalyzed dehydrogenative C-H/C-H cross-coupling of 2,3-substituted indolines with arenes at the C7 position

Directed directing group: The C7 position of the indoline nucleus is difficult to address in C-H activation. An oxidative palladium(II) catalysis that allows for cross-dehydrogenative coupling in that position with activation of the C-H bond of the arene component is disclosed here. This C-H/C-H cross-coupling is applicable to various indolines acetylated at the nitrogen atom. Substitution at C2 is crucial for the C-H activation to occur at C7 (see scheme).
