摘要
Control of regioselectivity that defies the intrinsic reactivity of arene C-H bonds remains a formidable challenge. In this work, dimeric Rh(II) complexes have been applied as an efficient catalyst for the regioselective coupling of NH indoles with diazo compounds. Two-substituted indoles mostly reacted with C(6) selectivity. Mechanistic studies revealed that the regioselectivity results from the hydrogen-bonding directing effect, and the C-C bond formation proceeds via the Friedel-Crafts-type attack of indole toward the Rh(II) carbene species. In contrast, the reaction of 4-methoxyindoles occurred exclusively with the complementary C(7) selectivity.
