Palladium-Catalyzed Direct 2-Alkylation of Indoles by Norbornene-Mediated Regioselective Cascade C–H Activation
摘要:
A palladium-catalyzed direct 2-alkylation reaction of free N-H indoles has been developed. This reaction relies on a norbornene-mediated cascade C-H activation process at the indole ring, which features high regioselectivity and excellent functional group, tolerance. The reaction represents the first example for a generally applicable, direct C-H alkylation of indole at the 2-position.

Nitrogen-containing heterocycles, including 1H-indoles and electron-deficient 1H-pyrroles, undergo a palladium/norbornene-cocatalyzed regioselective alkylation at the C-H bond adjacent to the NH group. A primary alkyl halide is used as the electrophile and the reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions to give 2-alkyl-1H-indoles and 2-substituted or 2,3-disubstituted 5-alkyl-1H-pyrroles in good yields.
