Abstract
Using a scalable and practical synthesis of functionalized indoles via Pd-tBuONO cocatalyzed cycloisomerization of o-allylanilines in the presence of oxygen as a terminal oxidant, a series of substituted indoles were prepared in good yields. The method avoids hazardous oxidants, heavy-metal cocatalysts, and high boiling point solvents such as DMF and DMSO.
