A phosphoric acid catalyzed electrophilic thiocyanation of 3-aryl indoles, which provides an efficient and modular approach to SCN-containing 3-aryl indole compounds, was developed for the first time. A variety of 2-SCN-3-aryl indoles were obtained with moderate to excellent yields. Furthermore, catalytic asymmetric manner of this reaction was also studied. Using chiral phosphoric acid as the catalyst, axially chiral SCN-containing 3-aryl indoles were obtained in moderate to good yields with moderate enantioselectivity.
首次开发了一种磷酸催化的 3-芳基吲哚的亲电硫氰化反应,为含 SCN 的 3-芳基吲哚化合物提供了一种高效、模块化的方法。通过该方法可以中等至优异的收率得到多种 2-SCN-3-芳基吲哚。此外,还研究了该反应的催化不对称方式。使用手性磷酸作为催化剂,可以中等至良好的收率和中等的对映选择性得到具有轴手性的含 SCN 的 3-芳基吲哚。
