Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Monometallic and bimetallic palladium(II)/N-heterocyclic carbene complexes appended with naphthalimide or bisnaphthalimide moieties were designed, synthesized, and characterized. Employment of these catalysts brings about the step-economic and regioselective heteroannulation of tertiary propargyl alcohols with o-haloanilines resulting in biologically and pharmaceutically relevant 2-alkenylindoles. Basis for the regioselective heteroannulation is unraveled by coordination of the propargylic hydroxy moiety to palladium during insertion. Embracing this methodology, a single regioisomer of unsymmetrical 2,3-disubstituted indoles could be achieved through late-stage modification. The role of the naphthalimide or bisnaphthalimide appended to the NHC on the catalytic efficiency has been studied.
