A direct C-2 methylation reaction of indoles bearing a readily removable N-2-pyrimidyl moiety as a site-specific directing group has been developed with a palladium catalyst. This reaction relied on the use of KF to promote efficient methylation. A moderate to good yield was achieved in a range of indole substrates.

A site selective C–H aminomethylation at indole’s C3 position has been achieved by merging rhodium(III)-catalyzed C–H activation and photoredox catalysis in a one-pot manner. An investigation of the mechanistic insights rationalized the essence of the activation relay and the combination mode.
highly selective C-2 difluoromethylation of indole derivatives was developed by using sodium difluoromethylsulfinate (HCF2SO2Na) as the source of difluoromethyl groups and a Cu(II) complex as the catalyst. Various substrates were well tolerated in this transformation and the desired products were obtained in moderate to good yields. Moreover, the late-stage C-2 difluoromethylation of bioactive molecules
通过使用二氟甲基亚磺酸钠(HCF 2 SO 2 Na)作为二氟甲基的来源和Cu(II)络合物作为催化剂,开发了一种新颖且高效的吲哚衍生物高选择性C-2二氟甲基化方法。在这种转化中,各种底物都具有良好的耐受性,并且以中等至良好的产率获得了所需的产物。此外,以高收率实现了含有吲哚环的生物活性分子的后期C-2二氟甲基化。通常,该反应具有出色的官能团相容性,广泛的底物范围和出色的C-2选择性。
Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of unstrained ketones <i>via</i> chelation-assisted C–C bond cleavage
Herein, we report that unstrained ketones can be efficiently employed as electrophiles in Suzuki–Miyaura reactions via catalytic activation of unstrained C–C bonds assist by an N-containing directing group. A wide range of aromatic ketones directly coupled with boronic ester with excellent functional group tolerance. This strategy provides an alternative and versatile approach to constructing biaryls

Rhodium(III)- and cobalt(III)-catalyzed C−Hactivation of indoles and coupling with 1,6-enynes is discussed. Under rhodium(III) catalysis, the alkyne insertion follows 2,1-regioselectivity with a subsequent type-I intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction (IMDA) to afford [6,5]-fused cycles. When catalyzed by the cobalt(III) congener, 1,2-insertion of the alkyne is preferred, and followed by a rare type-II
