Abstract
We report herein a method that allows for the formation of a C–N bond between the C–3 carbon of α-lactams and the nitrogen atom of indoles. A general procedure for the coupling of indoles and α-lactams in only 25 min with high yield is reported. The scope of the reaction was extended by the development of a method for the in situ generation of less stable phenyl-substituted α-lactams. The developed method provides an atom-economical method for the formation of substituted α-amino amides that are found in a variety of biologically-active compounds.
