Novel and selective synthetic approaches toward indole derivatives via copper-catalyzedone-pot multicomponent cascade reactions of 1-bromo-2-(2,2-dibromovinyl)benzenes with aldehydes and aqueous ammonia are presented. Intriguingly, the concentration of ammonia, the molar ratio of reagents, and the structural features of the aldehyde substrate serve as key factors in controlling the selective formation
Indoles undergo smooth cyanation with CuCN in the presence of 20 mol% Pd(OAc)(2) and 40 mol% CuBr2 in DMF to produce a wide range of the corresponding 3-cyanoindoles in good yields with high regioselectivity. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
