摘要
Herein, we report synergistic copper/amine-catalyzed reactions for directly a-benzylating carbonyl compounds with arylacetic acids. These reactions represent the first examples of decarboxylative oxidative synergistic transition-metal/enamine catalysis for a-functionalizing carbonyl compounds. The process features starting-material availability, good functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, and good-to-excellent yields. Dibenzylated products were formed in moderate yields under slightly altered reaction conditions, and some products were transformed into 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]indole derivatives by acid-catalyzed intermolecular cyclization reactions with indoles. Moreover, biological studies revealed that some products have anticancer properties and may be useful in drug-discovery studies.
