Gold-catalyzed oxidative couplings of two indoles with one aryldiazo cyanide under oxidant-free conditions

Abstract: Gold-catalyzed oxidative couplings of two indoles and one α-cyano gold carbene to form bis(indolyl)methane derivatives are described. Two different indoles are compatible with these reactions to provide reasonable yields. A plausible mechanism is postulated to rationalize the experimental data including product distributions, DO labeling, and the significant effects of gold catalysts and cyano groups.

“…For example, Tayama, Xu and Yang have reported the C(sp 2 )–H insertion reaction of α‐aryl‐α‐diazoesters with one equivalent of N , N ‐disubstituted aniline only to afford single C(sp 2 )–H insertion product (Scheme a). The double additions of the diazo compound with two nucleophiles have rarely been reported . For example, Liu reported the oxidative couplings reactions of aryl diazo cyanide with two molecules of indoles to afford bis(indolyl)methane derivatives; therein, an attempt for controlling the reaction with one molecule of indole was unsuccessful (Scheme b) .…”
