- An iron(iii)-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction of indoles with benzylamines to prepare 3-aminoindole derivatives
-
We report a green cascade approach to prepare a variety of 3-aminoindole derivatives in good to excellent yields through an iron(iii)-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction of 2-arylindoles and primary benzylamines under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies show that a cascade reaction involves a tert-butyl nitrite (TBN)-mediated nitrosation of 2-substituted indoles and a 1,5-hydrogen shift to afford indolenine oximes, sequential iron(iii)-catalyzed condensation and a 1,5-hydrogen shift over four steps in a one-pot reaction. The reaction shows a broad substrate scope of indoles and benzylamines and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. Moreover, the reaction is easily performed at the gram scale without producing waste after the reaction is completed. The 3-aminoindole product is purified by simple extraction, washing, and recrystallization without flash column chromatography. A double imine ligand containing the 3-aminoindole unit is facile to obtain in a 52% yield in one step. The present method highlights readily available starting materials, a simple purification procedure, and the usage of cheap, nontoxic, and environmentally benign iron(iii) catalysts. This journal is

- Copper-Catalyzed Carbonyl Group Controlled Coupling of Isatin Oximes with Arylboronic Acids To Prepare N-Aryloxindole Nitrones
-
A variety of (E)-N-aryloxindole nitrones were prepared in good to excellent yields by using a copper-catalyzed coupling reaction of isatin oximes and arylboronic acids under mild conditions. Various arylboronic acids that contain sensitive functional groups were tolerated in the transformation, and detailed studies show that the carbonyl group of the isatin oximes serves as a ligand to control the formation of the (E)-oxindole nitrones. This method to prepare (E)-N-aryloxindole nitrones was easily performed on a gram scale and efficiently used to synthesize estrone-derived oxindole nitrone in high yield.

- Synthesis of 2-Aminobenzonitriles through Nitrosation Reaction and Sequential Iron(III)-Catalyzed C-C Bond Cleavage of 2-Arylindoles
-
A variety of 2-aminobenzonitriles were prepared from 2-arylindoles in good to excellent yields through tert-butylnitrite (TBN)-mediated nitrosation and sequential iron(III)-catalyzed C-C Bond cleavage in a one-pot fashion. The 2-aminobenzonitriles can be used to rapidly synthesize benzoxazinones by intramolecular condensation. The present method features an inexpensive iron(III) catalyst, gram scalable preparations, and novel C-C bond cleavage of indoles.

- Cyclopalladation of 3-methoxyimino-2-phenyl-3H-indoles
-
The direct cyclopalladation of 3-methoxyimino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3H-indole (1a) and 3-methoxyimino-2-phenyl-3H-indole (1b) results in the regioselective activation of the ortho σ[C(sp2, phenyl)-H] bond affording (μ-OAc)2[Pd{κ2-C,N-C6H3-4R-1-(C8H4N-3′-NOMe)}]2 (2) {R = Cl (2a) or H (2b)} that contain a central Pd(μ-OAc)2Pd core. Compounds 2a and 2b reacted with triphenylphosphine (in a molar ratio PPh3:2 = 2) giving [Pd{κ2-C,N-C6H3-4R-1-(C8H4N-3′-NOMe)}(OAc)(PPh3)] (3) {R = Cl (3a) or H (3b)}. Treatment of 2a or 2b with a slight excess of LiCl in acetone produced the metathesis of the bridging ligands and the formation of (μ-Cl)2[Pd{κ2-C,N-C6H3-4R-1-(C8H4N-3′-NOMe)}]2 (4) {R = Cl (4a) or H (4b)} with a central Pd(μ-Cl)2Pd moiety. The reactions of 4a or 4b with deuterated pyridine (py-d5) or triphenylphosphine gave the monomeric derivatives [Pd{κ2-C,N-C6H3-4R-1-(C8H4N-3′-NOMe)}Cl(L)] with R = Cl or H and L = py-d5 (5) or PPh3 (6). The crystal structure of 6b·1/2CH2Cl2 confirmed the mode of binding of the ligand, the nature of the metallated carbon atom and a trans-arrangement of the phosphine ligand and the heterocyclic nitrogen. Theoretical calculations on the free ligands are also reported and have allowed the rationalization of the regioselectivity of the cyclopalladation process.
