The palladium‐catalyzed addition of indoles to nitriles affords 3‐acylindoles. The reaction proceeds with high selectivity, wide substrate scope, broadly available starting materials, and an operationally simple procedure. Combination with the palladium‐catalyzed intramolecular oxidative coupling of 3‐indolylarylketone gives access to indenoindolones in a one‐pot synthesis.
A novel palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of indoles with CO and aromatic boronic acids for the synthesis of indol-3-yl aryl ketones was developed. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and gives a variety of valuable indol-3-yl aryl ketones in high yields under mild conditions.
example of photocatalytic cross-coupling of alkenes with aldehydes by a single catalyst without an external photosensitizer and any additives. Irradiation of the aromatic aldehyde and cobaloxime catalyst results in the formation of an acyl radical, which undergoes radical addition with alkene or indole and subsequently β-H elimination to afford alkenyl ketone. The reaction features cheap and readily available
