Abstract

Abstract As alternatives to the common tertiary phosphine/Pd systems, well-defined N- heterocyclic carbene–Pd complexes have been proven to be highly efficient precatalysts for intermolecular direct annalution of o-haloanilines and ketones at lower catalyst loadings. A highly efficient and practical protocol for synthesis of functionalized indoles was developed using (IPr) Pd (acac) Cl as catalyst. Both o-bromoanilines and o-chloroanilines gave rise ...
