Abstract
AbstractTwo new PdII ONO pincer complexes were utilized efficiently as homogeneous catalysts for the site‐selective C3‐arylation of N‐methyl‐2‐oxindole with arylboronic acids at room temperature in aqueous media to yield a series of 3‐aryl‐N‐methyl‐2‐oxindoles. This catalytic reaction progressed well with a low catalyst loading (0.01 mol %) under open‐flask conditions. Notably, a column‐chromatography‐free method for the quantitative preparation of C3‐arylated N‐methyl‐2‐oxindoles is reported. The catalyst showed good compatibility with wide range of substrates with recyclability in up to five consecutive runs without an appreciable loss of yield.
