Platinum-Catalyzed Allylation of 2,3-Disubstituted Indoles with Allylic Acetates

Given the importance of heterocycle indole derivatives, much effort has been directed toward the development of methods for functionalization of the indole nucleus at N1 and C3 sites.

Description
Summary:Given the importance of heterocycle indole derivatives, much effort has been directed toward the development of methods for functionalization of the indole nucleus at N1 and C3 sites. Moreover, the platinum-catalyzed allyation of nucleophiles was an established and efficient way, which has been applied to medicinal and organic chemistry. In our research, the platinum-catalyzed 2,3-disubstitued indoles with allylic acetates was investigated under different conditions. Herein, we established a simple, convenient, and efficient method, which afforded high yield of allylated indoles.
