Synthesis of 2,3-Disubstituted Indoles via Palladium Catalysis

Significance
Cacchi and co-workers report a palladium-catalyzed synthesis of disubstituted indoles. This approach utilizes aryl halides and vinyl triflates with alkyne-tethered aryl nucleophiles to synthesized highly decorated indoles. The reaction is suitable for a wide range of functionalities and has now been extended to diverse scaffolds.
#
Comment
The reaction proceeds via an initial oxidative addition of the electrophile. Subsequent coordination, nucleopalladation and reductive elimination yield the product. The scaffolds arising from this reaction have shown biological activity.
