An efficient and economical synthetic approach toward 3-cyano-1H-indoles through the reactions of 2-(2-bromophenyl)acetonitriles with aldehydes and aqueous ammonia is presented. Mechanically, this novel protocol involves a one-pot cascade procedure consisting of an aldol-type condensation, a copper-catalyzed amination by using aqueous ammonia as a cheap and safe nitrogen source, and an intramolecular
An unprecedented palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aromatic C-H bonds by using tertiary amine derived isocyanide as a novel cyano source was developed. Cu(TFA)(2) was used as a requisite stoichiometric oxidant. Mechanistic studies suggest that a tertiary carbon cation-based intermediate Is involved following the C-N bond breakage.
