Efficient copper-catalyzed synthesis of C3-alkylated indoles from indoles and alcohols

A highly efficient copper(II) catalyst system for alkylation of indoles with alcohols via hydrogen borrowing method has been developed to afford C3-alkylated indoles in good to excellent yields. Cu(OAc)2 in the combination with dppm ligand has been found to be the most suitable catalyst system for this alkylation reaction.

Nickel-catalysed chemoselective C-3 alkylation of indoles with alcohols through a borrowing hydrogen method

An inexpensive, air-stable, isolable nickel catalyst is reported that can perform chemoselective C3-alkylation of indoles with a variety of alcohols following "borrowing hydrogen". A one-pot, cascade C3-alkylation starting from 2-aminophenyl ethyl alcohols, and thus obviating the need for pre-synthesized indoles, further adds to the broad scope of this method. The reaction is radical-mediated, and is significantly different from other examples, often dictated by metal-ligand bifunctionality. This journal is

Manganese-Catalyzed Regioselective Dehydrogenative C-versus N-Alkylation Enabled by a Solvent Switch: Experiment and Computation

The first base metal-catalyzed regioselective dehydrogenative alkylation of indolines using readily available alcohols as the alkylating reagent is reported. A single air-and moisture-stable manganese catalyst provides access to either C3-or N-alkylated indoles depending on the solvent used. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction takes place through a combined acceptorless dehydrogenation and hydrogen autotransfer strategy.

Iron-Catalyzed Direct C3-Benzylation of Indoles with Benzyl Alcohols through Borrowing Hydrogen

We present the coupling of primary and secondary benzyl alcohols with indoles to form 3-benzylated indoles and H2O that is catalyzed, for the first time, by a complex of earth-abundant iron. This transformation accommodates a variety of substrates and is distinguished by its operational simplicity, sustainability, high functional-group tolerance, and amenability to gram-scale synthesis. On the basis of the preliminary experimental observations, we propose that the reaction proceeds through a borrowing hydrogen process.

Divergent dehydrogenative coupling of indolines with alcohols

The dehydrogenative coupling of indolines with alcohols catalyzed by an iridium complex has been achieved to afford both N- and C3-alkylated indoles selectively, by simply changing the addition time of a base additive. The iridacycle catalyst plays multiple roles in these reactions, which dehydrogenates both amines and alcohols and catalyzes the coupling reactions. Mechanistic studies reveal that a borrowing hydrogen-dehydrogenation process and a dehydrogenationborrowing hydrogen process are involved in N-alkylation and C3-alkylation reactions, respectively. The C3-alkylation reaction involves the direct coupling of two sp3 carbon centers.

A highly efficient route to C-3 alkyl-substituted indoles via a metal-free transfer hydrogenation

A highly efficient route to C-3 alkyl-substituted indoles via completely metal-free catalytic transfer hydrogenation of 3-indolemethanols was developed. This process proceeds via vinylogous iminium intermediates formed in situ in the presence of Br?nsted

Environmentally friendly and regioselective C3-alkylation of indoles with alcohols through a hydrogen autotransfer strategy

The direct alkylation of indoles using KOH and alcohols, as initial source of the electrophile, under solvent-free conditions is a safe and environmentally benign strategy for selective modification of these structures at the C 3-position, without using hazardous and difficult to handle bromide or iodide derivatives or toxic and expensive transition metal catalysts. The protocol shows a broad scope, including halogenated indoles and secondary alcohols.

Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Regioselective Alkylation of Indoles with Alcohols

The regioselective alkylation of indoles with alcohols as alkylating reagents was developed by using Pd/C or RuCl2(PPh3) 3/DPEphos {DPEphos = bis[(2-diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl] ether}as catalysts. The reaction of indole with benzyl alcohol in the presence of Pd/C and K2CO3 at 80 °C for 24 h without any solvent under in air yielded 90 % of 3-benzylindole. The corresponding 3-benzylindole was obtained in 99 % yield when the reaction was catalyzed by RuCl 2(PPh3)3/DPEphos in the presence of K 3PO4 at 165 °C for 24 h under argon. Several types of alcohols were treated with indoles under these conditions to give the corresponding 3-alkylated indoles in high yields (up to 99 %). This reaction may involve the catalyst-mediated transformation of alcohols to aldehydes, nucleophilic addition of indole to the resulting aldehydes accompanied by dehydration, and then hydrogenation.

An efficient one-pot synthesis of 2-benzylpyrroles and 3-benzylindoles

One-pot regioselective benzylation of pyrroles and indoles using zirconium tetrachloride is discussed. This has been achieved by in-situ generation of di(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)zirconium(IV) chloride and di(1H-indol-1-yl)zirconium(IV) chloride. It was observed th
