A palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative C2-acylation of indoles with α-oxocarboxylic acids was achieved. This protocol represents a novel and complementary approach to 2-aroylindoles.
The nickel-catalyzed decarbonylation of unstrained diaryl ketones has been developed. The reaction is catalyzed by a combination of Ni(cod)2 and an electron-rich N-heterocyclic carbene ligand. High functional group tolerance and excellent yields (up to 98%) are observed. This strategy provides an alternative and versatile approach to construct biaryls using an inexpensive nickel catalyst.

An effective and practical palladium-catalyzedC2-acylation method was successfully developed for the synthesis of 2-acylindoles. A variety of 2-acylindoles were readily prepared from N-pyrimidyl indoles in moderate to good yields. This methodology offers several advantages, which include ease of handling, mild reaction conditions, and use of an efficient and cheap catalyst. In particular, challenging
