A cascade C?N, C?C and C?O multiple-bond-formation reaction to synthesize 3-acylindoles from 2-alkenylanilines with DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide) as a one-carbon synthon is described. This approach employed dioxygen as a terminal oxidant and oxygen donor, generally provided the 3-acylindoles in moderate to good yields. Moreover, the mechanistic investigation unambiguously revealed that the 2-carbon of 3-acylindole was derived from the N-methyl group of DMF. (Figure presented.).

Enabled by merging iridium photoredox catalysis and palladium catalysis, α-oxocarboxylate salts can be decarboxylatively coupled with aryl halides to generate aromatic ketones and amides at room temperature. DFT calculations suggest that this reaction proceeds through a Pd0-PdII-PdIII pathway, in which the PdIII intermediate is responsible for reoxidizing IrII to complete the IrIII-IrIII-IrII photoredox cycle. Like a mergin': Enabled by merging iridium photoredox catalysis and palladium catalysis, palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling of α-oxocarboxylates with aryl halides can proceed at room temperature. DFT calculations suggest that a Pd0-PdII-PdIII catalytic cycle is merged with an IrIII-IrIII-IrII photoredox cycle, in which PdIII is responsible for oxidizing IrII to complete the photoredox cycle.

A Friedel-Crafts acylation of 1-(phenylsulfonyl)indoles (1) with carboxylic acid anhydrides and acid chlorides in the presence of aluminum chloride gives 3-acyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indoles (2) in 81-99percent yields.Base hydrolysis converts 2 to 3-acylindoles (3) in 79-96percent yields.The reaction of 1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole (1a) with oxalyl chloride gives acid chloride 2h, which is converted to 3-cyanoindole (7) in three steps (75percent yield).Although a similar Friedel-Crafts alkylation of 1 was unsuccessful, in some cases the 3-acyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indoles 2a,e,f could be reduced to 3-alkyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indoles 8a,b,c in nearly quantitative yield with sodium borohydride in trifluoroacetic acid.The acid chloride derived from keto acid 9 did not cyclize to the desired pyridocarbazole-5,11-quinone 24 but rather to chloro keto lactam 10.However, acylation of 1a with acid chloride 22 followed by strong-base-mediated cyclization gives 24.Since quinone 24 has been previously converted to the alkaloid ellipticine 26, this route to 24 represents a new synthesis of ellipticine.Related synthetic schemes give rise to quinones 16 and 20.

Treatment of 1-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-iodoindole (6) with 2 equiv of tert-butyllithium (-100 deg C THF) generates essentially quantitatively 3-lithio-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole (1).Quenching 1 with various electrophiles gives 3-substituted indoles in good yield
