Photochemically Driven Ruthenium-Catalyzed Regioselective C–H Functionalization of Indoles with Alcohols to Access Indole-3-carbaldehyde and Bis(indolyl)methanes
We herein report a photochemical C–H functionalization reaction between indoles and alcohols to access indole-3-carbaldehyde and bis(indolyl)methane scaffolds using a ruthenium catalyst. Optimization studies revealed that the tuning in the ruthenium catalyst structure rendered indole-3-carbaldehyde in good yields, whereas the direct use of RuCl3·3H2O delivered bis(indolyl)methanes in good to excellent yields. These reactions proceed under operationally simple green conditions, offering a broad substrate scope.
