The indole scaffold is a ubiquitous and useful substructure, and extensive investigations have been conducted to construct the indole framework and/or realize indole modification. Nevertheless, the direct selective functionalization on the benzenoid core must overcome the high activity of the C-3 position and still remains highly challenging. Herein, a palladium-catalyzed direct and specific C-7 acylation of indolines in the presence of an easily removed directing group was developed. This strategy usually is considered as a practical strategy for the preparation of acylated indoles because indoline can be easily converted to indole under oxidation conditions. In particular, our strategy greatly improved the alkacylation yield of indolines for which only an unsatisfactory yield could be achieved in the previous studies. Furthermore, the reaction can be scaled up to gram level in the standard reaction conditions with a much lower palladium loading (1 mol %).

Disclosed herein is the design of an unprecedented electrophilic rhodium enalcarbenoid which results from rhodium(II)-catalyzed decomposition of a new class of enaldiazo compounds. The synthetic utility of these enalcarbenoids has been successfully demonstrated in the first transition-metal-catalyzed [4+2] benzannulation of pyrroles, thus leading to substituted indoles. The new benzannulation has been applied to the efficient synthesis of the natural product leiocarpone as well as a potent adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein inhibitor. Fat cat: A new class of enaldiazo compounds resulted in the first transition-metal-catalyzed [4+2] benzannulation of pyrroles to deliver indoles. The benzannulation is proposed to involve an unprecedented diacceptor rhodium enalcarbenoid. The reaction was used in the highly efficient synthesis of the natural product leiocarpone and a potent adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein inhibitor.
