Аннотация:Herein, we report a new transition-metal-free robust and cost-effective method for synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted indoles from easily available unactivated (i.e. without EWG, PPh3 or SiR3 groups) tertiary amides. Scope of synthetic applicability of the presented protocol was shown on 23 examples of 1,2-disubstituted indoles with different substitution patterns obtained in good to excellent yields. The reported method turned out to be especially effective for synthesis of N-arylated 2-CF3-indoles. Moreover, this approach can be performed in a one-pot two-step manner directly from commercially available secondary amines. Mechanistic studies showed that acyl transfer might be an important step in the course of the reaction. Viability of the presented approach for benzofurans and benzothiophenes synthesis was also discussed.
