Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed dearomative allylic alkylation of indoles with alkynes to construct indolenines with C3-quarternary centers was reported. The in situ formed arylallene intermediate omitted the need to install leaving groups on the allylic compounds and employ extra oxidants to oxidize the allylic C–H bonds. The reaction exhibited good functional group tolerance and high atom economy. Moreover, the reaction was further expanded to synthesize pyrroloindolines and furanoindolines.
