NiH-catalyzed dearomative hydroalkylation of indoles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 May 12;58(39):5893-5896. doi: 10.1039/d2cc01650h.

Abstract

A NiH-catalyzed intermolecular dearomative hydroalkylation of indoles has been developed, which assembles an array of structurally diverse C2-alkylated indolines with moderate to excellent yields. This protocol exhibits good functional group tolerance, allowing for late-stage functionalization of complex drug molecules.
