Tandem indole C–H alkenylation/arylation for tetra-substituted alkene synthesis

Abstract

Alkynyl indoles undergo a novel sequence of Pd-catalysed indole C–H activation/alkyne carbopalladation/arylation, with diaryliodonium salts providing the aryl components. An array of functionalised indole alkenes have been prepared in good to excellent yield, with the reaction being selective for the Z-alkene.
