In this paper, a simple and highly efficient ruthenium-catalyzed direct C3 alkylation of indoles with various α,β-unsaturated ketones without chelation assistance has been developed. This novel C-H activation methodology exhibits a broad substrate scope such as different substituted indoles, pyrroles, and other azoles. Further synthetic applications of the alkylation products can lead to more attractive 3,4-fused tricyclic indoles.
本文开发了一种简单高效的钌催化吲哚与各种α,β-不饱和酮的直接C3烷基化反应,无需螯合辅助。这种新型的C-H活化方法具有广泛的底物范围,如不同取代的吲哚、吡咯和其他唑类。烷基化产物的进一步合成应用可得到更具吸引力的3,4-稠合三环吲哚。
