Specific Synthesis of 3 H-Indole Derivatives via Rh(III)-Catalyzed Cascade Annulation between N-Phenylbenzimidamides and Pyridotriazoles

J Org Chem. 2019 Dec 20;84(24):16286-16292. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.9b02468. Epub 2019 Dec 3.

Abstract

An efficient synthetic method to construct 3H-indole derivatives has been successfully developed involving rhodium-catalyzed highly selective C-H bond activation of N-phenylbenzimidamides and subsequent couplings with pyridotriazoles. This cascade approach features excellent chemoselectivity and unique of products containing quaternary carbon center with the pyridyl moiety.
