An electrocatalytic reaction protocol is developed for achieving intramolecular dehydrogenative annulation of N-aryl enamines. It offers a simple and efficient way for the synthesis of indoles in an undivided cell. Good to excellent yields are obtained under oxidant-free and transition-metal-free conditions. Moreover, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines could also be produced when N-pyridyl enamines were used as the substrates.
开发了一种用于实现N-芳基烯胺分子内脱氢环化的电催化反应方案。它为在无隔膜电解池中合成吲哚提供了一种简单有效的方法。在无氧化剂和无过渡金属的条件下可获得良好至优异的产率。此外,当使用N-吡啶基烯胺作为底物时,也可以制备咪唑并[1,2-a]吡啶。
