RT Journal Article T1 Rh(III)-Catalyzed Tandem C-H Allylation and Oxidative Cyclization of Anilides: A New Entry to Indoles A1 Cajaraville Leiro, Ana A1 López Estévez, Susana A1 Varela Carrete, Jesús Ángel A1 Saá Rodríguez, Carlos K1 Cyclization K1 Indoles K1 Inorganic carbon compounds K1 Oxidative cyclization K1 Allyl group AB RhIII-catalyzed tandem C-H allylation and oxidative cyclization of anilides with allyl carbonates in the presence of a slight excess of AgSbF6 salt and Cu(OAc)2 as oxidant affords easy, economical access to important bioactive 2-methylindoles. The new reaction supports a wide range of functional groups on the anilide substrate. A possible mechanism is proposed as a basis for its rational further development.
