Pd-Catalyzed Alkene Carboheteroarylation Reactions for the Synthesis of 3-Cyclopentylindole Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: The Pd-catalyzed alkene carboheteroarylation of aryl and alkenyl triflate electrophiles bearing pendant alkenes with heteroaromatic nucleophiles affords substituted carbocycles with 3-indolyl or 3-pyrrolyl groups. The products are obtained in moderate to good yields, and the use of alkenyl triflate substrates produces products with high diastereoselectivities. The transformation is believed to proceed via a Friedel-Crafts-like reaction between the heteroaromatic nucleophile and an intermediate electrophilic palladium complex.
