Dearomative C–C and C–N bond cleavage of 2-arylindoles: transition-metal-free access to 2-aminoarylphenones
Keyword(s):
A transition-metal-free conversion of 2-arylindoles to 2-aminoarylphenones, using environmentally benign O2 as the sole oxidant, has been developed. This novel oxidative dearomatization process involves cleavage of two C–C and one C–N bonds followed by new C–C and C–O bond formation.
