Abstract
Activate that bond! The functionalization of the CF3 groups is an ongoing synthetic challenge owing to the inert nature of the CF bond. The aryl trifluoromethyl group can be reduced by a low-valent niobium catalyst to produce a carbenoid that inserts into a C(sp3)H bond to produce complex, functionalized N-fused indoles (see scheme).
