Treatment of o-nitrostyrenes with aqueous TiCl3 solution at room temperature afforded indoles through a formal reductive C(sp2)-H amination process. A range of functions such as halides (Cl, Br), carbonyl (ester, carbamate), cyano, hydroxy, and amino groups were tolerated. From β,β-disubstituted o-nitrostyrenes, 2,3-disubstituted indoles were formed by a domino reduction/cyclization/migration process. Mild conditions, simple experimental procedure, ready accessibility of the starting materials and good to excellent yields characterize the present transformation. The methodology was used as a key step in a concise synthesis of rizatriptan and a formal total synthesis of aspidospermidine. Mild and efficient treatment of o-nitrostyrenes with aqueous TiCl3 solution at room temperature afforded indoles through a formal reductive C(sp2)-Hamination process. A concise synthesis of a marketed drug (rizatriptan) and a formal total synthesis of aspidospermidine featuring this novel N-heterocyclization process are reported.

A bimetallic catalyst system generated from readily available palladium(II) and copper(I) salts, 1,10-phenanthroline and tri-1-naphthylphosphine was found to efficiently mediate the decarboxylative cross-coupling of alkenyl bromides and chlorides with aromatic carboxylates. It allows the regiospecific synthesis of a broad range of aryl- and heteroarylalkenes in high yields.
Rh2(II)-catalyzed intramolecular aliphatic C-H bond amination reactions using aryl azides as the N-atom source

Rhodium(II) dicarboxylate complexes were discovered to catalyze the intramolecular amination of unactivated primary, secondary, or tertiary aliphatic C-H bonds using aryl azides as the N-atom precursor. While a strong electron-withdrawing group on the nitrogen atom is typically required to achieve this reaction, we found that both electron-rich and electron-poor aryl azides are efficient sources for the metal nitrene reactive intermediate.
