Abstract

Indole-carboxylates are N-arylated with 2-bromopyridines using stoichiometric copper(II) oxide/potassium carbonate to give various N-(2-pyridyl)-substituted indole-2-carboxylates and with bromobenzenes using stoichiometric copper(I) iodide/N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine to give various N-(substituted phenyl)-substituted indole-2-carboxylates. These results expand the scope of metal-catalyzed N-ar­ylation using heterocyclic amines with steric bulk and weak nucleophil­icity.
