Palladium-Catalyzed Tandem Heck/Regiodivergent C(sp3)-H Activation for Selective Construction of Spiro and Fused Cyclopropanated Indolines

초록/요약

A novel palladium-catalyzed tandem Heck/regiodivergent C(sp3)-H bond activation giving selectively spiro and fused cyclopropanated indolines from a common N-allylated 2-bromoanilines has been developed. The σ-alkylpalladium(II) intermediate A, formed by 5-exo-trig Heck carbopalladation, could activate the exo-alkyl C(sp3)-H bond to give spiro-cyclopropanated indulines in a polar DMSO solvent. In comparison, the endo-alkyl C(sp3)-H bond could be activated selectively to give fused-cyclopropanated indoline moiety in a non-polar p-xylene solvent. Kinetic isotope effect experiments indicated that the cleavage of C-H bonds is turnover limiting step in both catalytic reactions. And the reductive and alkynylative trapped indolines were confirmed with ammonium formate and phenyl acetylene additive as each sole products in almost quantitative yield. The reactions were successful with electron-neutral, electron-donating and electron-deficient groups on the aromatic ring.
