Catalytic C−H Bond Functionalization with Palladium(II): Aerobic Oxidative Annulations of Indoles
摘要:
A palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative annulation of indoles is described. We have demonstrated that a variety of factors influence these cyclizations, and in particular the electronic nature of the pyridine ligand is crucial. It is also remarkable that these oxidative cyclizations can proceed in good yield despite background oxidative decomposition pathways, testament to the facile nature with which molecular oxygen can serve as the direct oxidant for Pd(0). We have also shown that the mechanism most likely involves initial indole palladation (formal C-H bond activation) followed by migratory insertion and beta-hydrogen elimination.

conjugate addition of indoles to α-substituted enals is achieved by using a diazepane carboxylate catalyst under mild conditions (20 mol-% catalyst, 20 mol-% TFA, acetonitrile, –20 °C). The low basicity and high nucleophilicity of this catalyst overcomes the limitations of allylic 1,3 strain in the intermediate iminium ions, which is normally observed with secondary-amine catalysts.

Aqua-complexes (S-M,R-C)-[C-p*M((R)-prophos)(H2O)][SbF6](2)(M = Rh 1, Ir 2) catalysed the alkylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes with aromatics and heteroaromatics but in some cases, mixtures of products were obtained. Complexes 1 and 2 were also used to activate nitroalkenes for the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of a variety of aromatics and heteroaromatics, in particular, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene. For this substrate, the monoalkylated adduct was obtained in quantitative yield with enantioselectivities of up to 73% ee being achieved. The intermediate catalyst/nitroalkene was isolated and characterized and the complex catalyst/adduct was detected spectroscopically. From these data a plausible catalytic cycle is proposed.
