Abstract
AbstractPyrazabole (1) is a readily accessible diboron compound that can be transformed into ditopic electrophiles. In1(and derivatives), the B⋅⋅⋅B separation is ca. 3 Å, appropriate for one boron centre bonding to N and one to the C7 of indoles and indolines. This suitable B⋅⋅⋅B separation enables double E−H (E=N/C) functionalisation of indoles and indolines. Specifically, the activation of1with HNTf2generates an electrophile that transforms N−H indoles and indolines into N/C7‐diborylated indolines, with N−H borylation directing subsequent C7−H borylation. Indole reduction to indoline occurs before C−H borylation and our studies indicate this proceeds via hydroboration—C3‐protodeboronation to produce an intermediate that then undergoes C7 borylation. The borylated products can be converted in situ into C7‐BPin‐N‐H‐indolines. Overall, this represents a transient directed C−H borylation to form useful C7‐BPin‐indolines.
