Synthesis of 2,3-Substituted β- <i>N</i> -Glycosyl Indoles through C–H Activation/Annulation Process under Rh(III)-Catalysis

Abstract

An efficient and selective C–H activation method of readily available β-N-aryl glycosides with various alkynes has been established. Using [Cp*RhCl2]2 as a catalyst and AgSbF6 in DCE, this protocol proved to be general to prepare a variety of 2,3-substituted N-glycosyl indoles in good yields.
