Palladium-Catalyzed Sequential C–H Activation/Amination with Diaziridinone: An Approach to Indoles
Jing Li, Jinhua Chen, Luying Wang, Yian Shi
Abstract
Indoles are an important class of molecules. This paper describes an efficient palladium-catalyzed synthesis of indoles from 2-iodostyrenes and di-t-butyldiaziridinone with a simultaneous installation of two C–N bonds. The reaction process likely proceeds through the oxidative insertion of Pd to aryl iodide and subsequent vinyl C–H activation to from a pallada(II)cycle intermediate, which is bisaminated by di-t-butyldiaziridinone to give the indole product.
