Iodine-Mediated α-Acetoxylation of 2,3-Disubstituted Indoles
摘要:
A new method for direct alpha-functionalization of 2,3-disubstituted indoles has been developed. The present reaction provides alpha-acetoxy indole derivatives regioselectively under mild conditions using commercially available and nontoxic iodine reagents. This reaction is a useful synthetic tool because obtained alpha-acetoxy products can be transformed into various functionalized indoles by substitution reactions with nucleophiles.

The two conditions for the preparation of the reactive N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)indolo-2,3-quinodimethane intermediate were developed by the reaction of the N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-(1-ethoxycarbonyloxymethylallenyl)aniline with K2CO3 or Pd2(dba)3 in refluxing toluene. The resulting N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)indolo-2,3-quinodimethane was captured by several alkenyl and alkynyl dienophiles to provide the
