Gold catalysis: Selectivity problems in hydroarylations with pyrroles

Gold-catalyzed reactions of pyrrole derivatives with methyl vinyl ketone preferentially give rise to doubly substituted products, with an excess of methyl vinyl ketone even triple substitutions can be observed. This is independent of the electronic nature of substituents on the pyrrole ring, even substrates with electron-withdrawing acyl substituents in 1-2- or 3-position show this behavior. The NH group of the pyrrole ring may be unprotected, no competing hydroamination is observed. In an intramolecular competition experiment with a furan ring only the pyrrole ring reacted. The constitutions of the highly-substituted pyrroles were proven by NMR spectroscopy and one X-ray structure analysis. Control experiments show that Yb(OTf)3 does not catalyze these reactions, but Ag+ and H+ does. Contrary to pyrroles, under similar reaction conditions indoles show a clean monosubstitution reaction.

AlCl3 as a powerful catalyst for the one-pot preparation of 1,1,3-triheteroaryl compounds

A general and efficient procedure for the synthesis of 1,1,3-triheteroaryl compounds in good to excellent yield at room temperature is developed. The reaction proceeds via mixed Michael and Friedel-Crafts reactions of α,β-enals or α,β-enones and indoles, 2-methylfuran or 2-methylthiophene in the presence of a catalytic amount of AlCl3.

Metal–Organic Layers Hierarchically Integrate Three Synergistic Active Sites for Tandem Catalysis

We report the design of a bifunctional metal–organic layer (MOL), Hf12-Ru-Co, composed of [Ru(DBB)(bpy)2]2+ [DBB-Ru, DBB=4,4′-di(4-benzoato)-2,2′-bipyridine; bpy=2,2′-bipyridine] connecting ligand as a photosensitizer and Co(dmgH)2(PPA)Cl (PPA-Co, dmgH=dimethylglyoxime; PPA=4-pyridinepropionic acid) on the Hf12 secondary building unit (SBU) as a hydrogen-transfer catalyst. Hf12-Ru-Co efficiently catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenation of indolines and tetrahydroquinolines to afford indoles and quinolones. We extended this strategy to prepare Hf12-Ru-Co-OTf MOL with a [Ru(DBB)(bpy)2]2+ photosensitizer and Hf12 SBU capped with triflate as strong Lewis acids and PPA-Co as a hydrogen transfer catalyst. With three synergistic active sites, Hf12-Ru-Co-OTf competently catalyzed dehydrogenative tandem transformations of indolines with alkenes or aldehydes to afford 3-alkylindoles and bisindolylmethanes with turnover numbers of up to 500 and 460, respectively, illustrating the potential use of MOLs in constructing novel multifunctional heterogeneous catalysts.

Alkylation of Indoles with α,β-Unsaturated Ketones using Alumina in Hexanes

We evaluated the influence of solvent on the alumina-promoted C3-alkylation of indoles with α,β-unsaturated ketones. We found that lipophilic solvents were generally superior to hydrophilic ones with hexanes offering the 3-alkyl indole products in high yields. Thus, we demonstrate an inexpensive and procedurally simple new process that pairs acidic alumina with hexanes to achieve this important Michael alkylation. The substrate scope includes twenty-four examples with reaction yields ranging from 61 to 96%. (Figure presented.).

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Selective C?C Coupling of Allylic Alcohols with Free Indoles: Influence of the Metal Catalyst

Versatile reactive activities of allyl alcohols with free indoles in C?H functionalization reactions were investigated. Direct alkylation or cascade cyclization reactions could be selectively controlled based on the catalyst system: Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 provided C3-substituted β-ketone indoles whereas [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 yielded cyclized indoles.
