Cross-Dehydrogenative Couplings between Indoles and β-Keto Esters: Ligand-Assisted Ligand Tautomerization and Dehydrogenation via a Proton-Assisted Electron Transfer to Pd(II)
摘要:
Cross-dehydrogenative coupling reactions between beta-ketoesters and electron-rich arenes, such as indoles, proceed with high regiochemical fidelity with a range of beta-ketoesters and indoles. The mechanism of the reaction between a prototypical beta-ketoester, ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanonecarboxylate, and N-methylindole has been studied experimentally by monitoring the temporal course of the reaction by H-1 NMR, kinetic isotope effect studies, and control experiments. DFT calculations have been carried out using a dispersion-corrected range-separated hybrid functional (omega B97X-D) to explore the basic elementary steps of the catalytic cycle. The experimental results indicate that the reaction proceeds via two catalytic cycles. Cycle A, the dehydrogenation cycle, produces an enone intermediate. The dehydrogenation is assisted by N-methylindole, which acts as a ligand for Pd(II). The computational studies agree with this conclusion, and identify the turnover-limiting step of the dehydrogenation step, which involves a change in the coordination mode of the beta-keto ester ligand from an O,O'-chelate to an beta'-bound Pd enolate. This ligand tautomerization event is assisted by the if-bound indole ligand. Subsequent scission of the beta'-C-H bond takes place via a proton-assisted electron transfer mechanism, where Pd(II) acts as an electron sink and the trifluoroacetate ligand acts as a proton acceptor, to produce the Pd(0) complex' of the enone intermediate. The coupling is completed in cycle B, where the enone is coupled with indole. Pd(TFA)(2) and TFA-catalyzed pathways were examined experimentally and computationally for this cycle, and both were found to be viable routes for the coupling step.

effective for a wide range of arenes, including nonactivated arenes bearing simple functionalities such as fluoride, chloride, ester, amide, ether, nitrile, and trifluoromethyl groups as well as heteroarenes including indole, thiophene, pyridine, and isoquinoline. An analogous C-H azidation is also accomplished using azidoiodinane for direct introduction of a useful azide group onto a broad scope of arenes

Herein we describe a general, mild and scalable method for deuterium incorporation by potassium methoxide/hexamethyldisilane-mediated dehalogenation of arylhalides. With CD3CN as a deuterium source, a wide array of heteroarenes prevalent in pharmaceuticals and bearing diverse functional groups are labeled with excellent deuterium incorporation (>60 examples). The ipso-selectivity of this method provides

The construction of C−N bonds by free radical reactions represents a powerful synthetic approach for direct C−Hamidations of arenes or heteroarenes. Developing efficient and more environmentally friendly synthetic methods for C−Hamidationreactions remains highly desirable. Herein, metal‐free electrochemical oxidative dehydrogenative C−Hamidations of heteroarenes with N‐alkylsulfonamides have been

The gold‐catalysed double functionalisation of indoles is presented. Enynones are used to annulate indoles via a double sodium tetrachloroaurate‐catalysed process involving a mixture of CH activation and alkyne activation modes of promotion. Good yields for the formation of medicinally relevant [6,5,7]‐tricyclic indoles are realised.

RegioselectiveC(2)−Hdifluoroalkylation of C‐3 unsubstituted indoles with commonly available fluoroalkyl bromides is successfully achieved employing a simple nickel catalyst system, (DME)NiCl2/Xantphos. This methodology shows excellent regioselectivity and exhibits a broad substrate scope.
