Abstract:Multifunctionalized indole derivatives were prepared by reducing azoarenes in the presence of ketones and bis(neopentylglycolato)diboron (B 2 nep 2 ) with a catalytic amount of 4,4′-bipyridyl under neutral reaction conditions, where 4,4′bipyridyl acted as an organocatalyst to activate the B−B bond of B 2 nep 2 and form N,N′-diboryl-1,2-diarylhydrazines as key intermediates. Further reaction of N,N′-diboryl-1,2-diarylhydrazines with ketones afforded N-vinyl-1,2-diarylhydrazines, which rearranged to the correspo… Show more
“…Based on the importance of indoles and their derived compounds, the synthesis and functionalization of these heterocyclic compounds continues to be important for academic research and the pharmaceutical industry. 7–14…”
A general heterogeneous cobalt-catalysed CH-alkylation of indoles with alcohols is reported. Utilizing this straightforward borrowing hydrogen methodology, a series of substituted and functionalized indoles were easily coupled with benzylic, heterocyclic,...

“…The atom of nitrogen of compound C reacts nucleophilically with the carbonyl of cyclohexanone, for producing intermediate D and eliminating HOBnep to produce species E. This was quenched by HOBnep, which produced enamine F and O(Bnep) 2 , followed by indole derivative 1 by aniline elimination, analogous to Fischer indole synthesis. 39 …”

“…The tube was rinsed with ethyl acetate, and the solvent that was used is evaporated to obtain compound 1 with 95% yield. 39 The same technique was followed with azoxybenzene as a precursor and 3.3 equivalents of B 2 nep 2 , giving compound 2 in 92% yield. For the synthesis of compound 4, 4,4 0 -bipyridyl interacts with B 2 nep 2 in CH 3 CN for 16 h at room temperature, yielding intermediate compound 3.…”
Recent advancements in utilizing organocatalysts emphasize their simplicity, effectiveness, reproducibility, and high selectivity, resulting in excellent yields of heterocyclic organic compounds.
“…4 In fact, treatment of commercially available B 2 pin 2 and B 2 nep 2 with inorganic and organic anions produces anionic sp 2 –sp 3 diboron adducts as the key intermediates with strong reducing ability. 5…”
We found that bis(neopentylglycolato)diboron (B2nep2) served as a bidentate ligand and a one-electron reducing agent for early transition metal chlorides to afford MCl4(B2nep2).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
