Palladium-catalyzed selective N-(hetero)arylation or N,N′-di(hetero) arylation of 1-aminoindoles

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The selective synthesis of N-(hetero)aryl-1-aminoindoles 3 from the corresponding N-aminoindoles and (hetero)aryl halides using a catalyst combination of Pd2(dba)3 associated to Josiphos is described. By switching to Xantphos as the ligand, the alternate catalytic system allows the coupling to proceed efficiently for the preparation of symmetrical and unsymmetrical N,N′-diaryl-1-aminoindole derivatives in good yields.
