first Pd-catalyzed directC–Hacylation of indoles at the C4 position with α-oxocarboxylic acids using a ketone directinggroup is described. This reaction exhibits high regioselectivity with the tolerance of a wide scope of functional groups to afford diverse acylated indoles in moderate-to-good yields. The control experiments evidence the generation of acyl radicals via K2S2O8 promoted decarboxylation

Palladium catalyzed addition of arylboronic acid or indole to nitriles: synthesis of aryl ketones
Arylketones can be synthesized conveniently by a palladiumcatalyzedaddition of arylboronic acid to nitriles in aqueous triflic acid. This catalytic system was extended to the addition of unprotected indoles to nitriles under a slightly modified condition to produce 3-acyl indoles in good yields.
A straightforward indole synthesis via annulation of C-nitrosoaromatics with conjugated terminal alkynones was realised achieving a simple, highly regioselective, atom- and step economical access to 3-aroylindoles in moderate to good yields. Further functionalizations of indole scaffolds were investigated and an easy way to JWH-018, a synthetic cannabinoid, was achieved.
An efficient Cu-catalyzed decarboxylative C3-acylation of free (NâH) indoles using α-oxocarboxylic acids as acylating agents has been developed. This method was compatible with a variety of functional groups and provided an attractive alternative access to 3-acylindoles in moderate to high yields.

A fast and green method is developed for regioselective acylation of indoles in the 3-position without the need for protection of the NH position. The method is based on Friedel-Crafts acylation using acid anhydrides. The method has been optimized, and Y(OTf)3 in catalytic amounts is found to be the best catalyst together with the commercially available ionic liquid [BMI]BF4 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoro-borate) as solvent. The reaction is completed in a very short time using monomode microwave irradiation. The catalyst can be reused up to four times without significant loss of activity. A range of substituted indoles are investigated as substrates, and thirteen new compounds have been synthesized.
