Abstract
An aerobic copper-mediated domino reaction for the synthesis of 3-(trifluoromethylseleno)indoles by trifluoromethylselenolation of N-Ts 2-alkynylaniline with [(bpy)CuSeCF3]2 is reported. This reaction proceeds through sequential oxidation, alkyne coordination, and deprotonation followed by reductive elimination. This mild and robust method is highly functional group tolerant and provides straightforward access to 3-(trifluoromethylseleno)indoles in moderate to good yields.
