A new synthesis of indoles via intramolecular cyclization of ο-alkynyl N,N-dialkylanilines promoted by KOt-Bu/DMSO
摘要:
2-Aryl indoles could be prepared in excellent yields via the intramolecular cyclization of o-alkynyl N,N-dialkylanilines. The reaction is efficiently promoted by the catalytic amount of KOr-Bu in DMSO at room temperature. A reaction mechanism involving alpha-aminoalkyl radical intermediates is suggested.

A new and efficient catalytic approach to the synthesis of 3-acylindoles under Pd-Cu-cocatalyzed oxidative conditions is demonstrated. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) acts not only as the oxidant, but also as an oxygen source in the approach. The process allows quick and atom-economical assembly of 3-acylindoles from readily available starting materials and tolerates a broad range of functional groups
