Abstract
We present herein a Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylation reaction of 3-formylindoles with nitroalkenes to construct various 3-(2-nitroalkyl)indoles, which can be used to prepare tryptamines and related indole-containing bioactive compounds. The reaction features broad substrate scope and high regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies were carried out to shed insights into the reaction mechanism.
