A catalytic, enantioselective method for the C-H functionalization of indoles by diazo compounds has been achieved. With catalytic amounts of Rh(2)(S-NTTL)(4), the putative Rh-carbene intermediates from α-alkyl-α-diazoesters react with indoles at C(3) to provide α-alkyl-α-indolylacetates in high yield and enantioselectivity. From DFT calculations, a mechanism is proposed that involves a Rh-ylide intermediate with oxocarbenium character.
一种通过重氮化合物实现吲哚 C-H 官能化的催化、对映选择性方法已经实现。使用催化量的 Rh(2)(S-NTTL)(4),α-烷基-α-重氮酯的假定 Rh-卡宾中间体在 C(3)位与吲哚反应,以高产率和对映选择性提供α-烷基-α-吲哚基乙酸酯。通过 DFT 计算,提出了一种涉及具有氧杂碳正离子特征的 Rh-叶立德中间体的机理。
