Abstract

AbstractA practical and economical process for the synthesis of perfluoroalkylated indole compounds has been developed. The Michael addition of 2‐iodo‐ or 2‐bromoanilines to methyl perfluoroalk‐2‐ynoates affords N‐(o‐haloaryl)enamines, which subsequently undergo a copper‐catalyzed annulation reaction to give 2‐perfluoroalkyl‐substituted indoles in good to excellent yields. This method displays excellent functional group tolerance and is carried out in one pot under mild conditions.
