Pd-Catalyzed α-Arylation of Sulfones in a Three-Component Synthesis of 3-[2-(Phenyl/methylsulfonyl)ethyl]indoles

Abstract: ABSTRACT. A novel four-step domino process for the synthesis of 3-[2-(aryl/alkylsulfonyl)ethyl]indoles starting from readily available 2-iodoanilines is reported. The domino reaction is based on the intramolecular palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of sulfones, which was combined with both intermolecular aza-Michael and Michael addition reactions using vinyl sulfones as the electrophile. The domino process produced good yields and tolerated the presence of substituents with different electronic properties on the … Show more

“…The intramolecular Heck coupling furnishes, after The reaction of substituted 2-iodoanilines 13 and vinyl sulfones 14 produced a particular four step domino process with the formation of 3-substituted indoles 15 in good yields (Scheme 5). 8 The sequence is based on an initial intermolecular aza-Michael reaction followed by intramolecular Pd-catalyzed -arylation of the sulfone. This intermediate undergoes a Michael addition with a second molecule of vinyl sulfone and -elimination of sulfinic acid forms the products 15.…”

“…The terminating step consisted in a Michael addition at the 3-position of the indole furnishing products in 40-89 % yields (Scheme 91). 138 Compounds bearing the (3-indolyl)ethyl moiety were challenging synthetic targets due to the diversity of biologically active tryptamine analogues. 139 Scheme 91.…”

“…Solé and co-workers reported a domino four-step aza-Michael/α-arylation/Michael addition/β-elimination strategy to achieve 3-[2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethyl]indoles (Scheme 29) [54]. From the results of a previous similar synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines [55], the authors knew that, conversely from acrylates, the competitive Heck reaction did not interfere with the initial aza-Michael addition and that the sulfone α-arylation was the most important step to be optimized.…”
