Copper-Catalysed Selective 3-Sulfonylation of Indoles: A Mild Synthesis of Indolyl Sulfones

The selective C3-sulfonylation of some 4-, 5- and 6-substituted indoles using sodium arenesulfinates as reaction partners has been realised under mild conditions using catalytic CuI/1,10-phenanthroline at 70 °C. The reaction had a satisfactory application scope and proceeded in fair to excellent yields.

Synthesis of β-arylated alkylamides via Pd-catalyzed one-pot installation of a directing group and C(sp(3))-H arylation

The synthesis of β-arylated alkylamides via alkyl C-H bond arylation has been realized by means of direct one-pot reactions of acyl chlorides, aryl iodides and 8-aminoquinoline. Depending on the structure of the starting materials, both single and double β-arylated alkylamides could be accessed.
