The use of catalysis methods to enable Smiles rearrangement opens up new substrate classes for arylation under mild conditions. Here, we describe an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis system that accesses indole and pyrrole aldehyde substrates in a desulfonylative Smiles process. The reaction proceeds under mild, transition-metal-free conditions and captures acyl anion reactivity for the synthesis of a diverse array of 2-aroyl indoles and pyrroles from readily available sulfonamide starting ...[more]
