Gold-Catalyzed Direct Indolation of Tetrahydroisoquinolines

Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are important motifs of pharmaceuticals and functional materials, and there has been a growing interest in new synthetic methods for their preparations. In this paper, we report a direct cross-coupling reaction of indole with N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines...

Summary:Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are important motifs of pharmaceuticals and functional materials, and there has been a growing interest in new synthetic methods for their preparations. In this paper, we report a direct cross-coupling reaction of indole with N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines in the presence of gold catalyst. The reaction is compatible with a wide range of substituted indoles, to enable the tbrmation of various alkylated heteroarenest, nder very mild reaction conditions.
