Significance

Pd0-AmP-MCF constitutes of silica-based mesocellular foam (MCF) functionalized with aminopropylsilane (for the preparation, see: M. Shakeri et al. Chem. Eur. J. 2011, 17, 13269). Pd0-AmP-MCF (palladium particles ø: 2–3 nm) catalyzed the C2-selective arylation of indoles 1 and substituted diaryliodonium tetrafluoroborates 2 to give the corresponding indole derivatives in 65–99% yield (15 examples).

Comment

The reactions of an electron-rich indole (3b), an N-methylated indole (3d), para-alkyl-substituted salts (3f,g), or an electron-deficient CF3-substituted salt (3j) afforded high yields, whereas an N-benzylated indole (3e) or a naphthyl salt (3i) resulted in lower yield. ICP-OES analysis showed 0.6 ppm of palladium leaching from the reaction mixture (3a).
