One-Pot Synthesis of <i>N</i>-Imidoyl-(1<i>H</i>)-indoles via Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative Insertion Domino Reaction with Isocyanide and Arylboronic Acid

Abstract

Efficient one-pot synthesis of N-imidoyl-(1 H)-indoles has been described, which is achieved by the palladium-catalyzed oxidative insertion of 2-(phenylethynyl)aniline, arylboronic acid, and isonitrile. This method provides a new way to synthesize N-imidoyl-(1 H)-indoles, which has a wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and mild reaction condition.
