Abstract:Spiroindoles are key scaffolds in a large number of natural products, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Selectively C–H activation has emerged as a powerful synthetic approach to streamline the synthesis of substituted spiroindoles. To date, various 2- and 3 indolyl-tethered aza-spiro-centres have been successfully achieved via C−H activation. However, introduction of spiro-containing systems onto the benzenoid core of indole still remains challenging. Herein, we reported a method of Rh(III)-catalyzed selecti… Show more
