Abstract:
The palladium catalyzed reductive cyclization of substituted ortho-nitrostyrenes is a powerful method for the synthesis of indoles. The reaction proceeds using CO as the reductant [1]. However CO is a highly toxic gas and its use implies the installation of expensive safety measures and high-pressure equipments. Therefore carbonylation reactions using non-gaseous CO precursors are highly desirable [2].
For our purpose we chose formate esters as the CO sources due their commercial availability and low cost. Thus, we developed a one-pot two-catalysts system composed of Ru3(CO)12 and [Pd(Phen)2][BF4]2 for the decarbonylation and the reductive cyclization step respectively. As the result various 2,6-substituted indoles were synthesized in good yields using a cheap and safe CO source [3].
