A reductive amination process that constructs indoles, carbazoles or benzimidazoles from nitroarenes – irrespective of their electronic or steric nature – was developed that uses CO2 as the source of CO. The process is robust, tolerating common gaseous components of flue gas (H2S, SO2, NO and H2O) without adversely affecting the reductive cyclization.

A palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of electron-deficient aryl fluorides with aryl N-tosylhydrazones has been reported. Mechanistically, this approach involves C-F bond activation and migratory insertion of palladium carbene as the two key steps

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.
