The Role of Reversible Oxidative Addition in Selective Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Intramolecular Cross-Couplings of Polyhalogenated Substrates: Synthesis of Brominated Indoles
摘要:
A Pd(0)-catalyzed C-N bond-forming reaction leading to the synthesis of brominated indoles is described. The use of the phosphine ligand PtBu3 is necessary for reactivity. It is proposed that the bulky ligand serves to prevent inhibition of the catalyst by facilitating reversible oxidative addition into the product C-Br bond. Intramolecular coupling of a vinyl bromide in the presence of an aryl iodide can take place, demonstrating unprecedented levels of selectivity.

2-Bromoindoles were readily prepared through a facile Cs2CO3-promoted intramolecular cyclization of 2-(gem-bromovinyl)-N-methylsulfonylanilines in excellent yields under transition-metal-free conditions. This methodology could be extended to the synthesis of corresponding 2-chloroindoles. The reaction mechanism suggested that cyclization occurs through a key intermediate, phenylethynyl bromide, followed by cyclization in one-pot.
