Abstract
Direct C(sp2)–H bond functionalization of indoles with arylboronic acids is achieved using palladium supported on carbon as a reusable heterogeneous catalyst in the presence of an oxidant under mild conditions. The current protocol formed exclusive C-2 selective products without the aid of any ligand or directing group. The catalyst is reusable for up to four catalytic cycles with the retention of catalytic efficiency.
