Silver-Mediated Intermolecular 1,2-Alkylarylation of Styrenes with -Carbonyl Alkyl Bromides and Indoles

摘要

A new iron-facilitated silver-mediated radical 1,2-alkylarylation of styrenes with -carbonyl alkyl bromides and indoles is described, and two new C-C bonds were generated in a single step through a sequence of intermolecular C(sp(3))-Br functionalization and C(sp(2))-H functionalization across the alkenes. This method provides an efficient access to alkylated indoles with broad substrate scope and excellent selectivity.
