Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed C-H allylation of indoles with allyl alcohols via β-hydroxide elimination.

ABSTRACT: An efficient Rh(iii)-catalyzed dehydrative C-H allylation of indoles with allyl alcohols via β-hydroxide elimination under oxidant-free conditions has been developed. This method features very mild reaction conditions, excellent regioselectivity and stereoselectivity, and compatibility with various functional groups. In addition, the directing group can be removed under mild reaction conditions, which further underscores the synthetic utility of this method.
