This review summarizes palladium-catalyzed carbonylation, transmetalation, and cross-coupling reactions that lead to carbonylated indoles from indoles and indolyl compounds. Special attention is drawn to procedures involving the C(sp2)–H substitution of free (NH)-indoles or (N-substituted)-indoles. Proposed mechanisms are described with, in some cases, personal comments.1 Introduction2 Carbonylative Reactions2.1 Indolyl Halides as Starting Substrates2.2 Indolyl Iodides as Intermediates2.3 Indolylborates as Intermediates2.4 C(sp2)–H Reactions2.4.1 Carboxylation2.4.2 Carbonylative Alkoxylation2.4.3 Carbonylative Arylation2.4.4 Carbonylative Alkenylation2.4.5 Carbonylative Alkylation2.4.6 Double Carbonylation3 Cross-Coupling of Stannyl- or Mercurioindoles4 Cross-Coupling of Indoles4.1 Aldehydes4.2 Alcohols4.3 α-Diketones4.4 α-Oxo Esters4.5 α-Oxocarboxylic Acids4.6 Nitriles4.7 Isocyanides4.8 Isothiocyanates and Isocyanates4.9 α-Aminocarbonyl Compounds4.10 Vinyl Ethers or Vinyl Amides4.11 Toluene and Substituted Toluenes4.12 Bromodichloromethane5 Conclusion

Cross-coupling between substrates that can be easily derived from phenols is highly attractive due to the abundance and low cost of phenols. Here, we report a dual nickel/palladium-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between aryl tosylates and aryl triflates; both substrates can be accessed in just one step from readily available phenols. The reaction has a broad functional group tolerance and substrate scope (>60 examples). Furthermore, it displays low sensitivity to steric effects demonstrated by the synthesis of a 2,2’disubstituted biaryl and a fully substituted aryl product. The widespread presence of phenols in natural products and pharmaceuticals allow for straightforward late-stage functionalization, illustrated with examples such as Ezetimibe and tyrosine. NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations indicate that the nickel catalyst is responsible for activating the aryl triflate, while the palladium catalyst preferentially reacts with the aryl tosylate.

A concise route to the common polyketide fragment5of crocacin A-D (1-4) is presented which has previously been converted into all members of this fungicidal and cytotoxic family of dipeptidic natural products by various means. Our synthesis features asyn-selective titanium aldol reaction controlled by a valinol-derived auxiliary, a zinc-mediated, palladium-catalyzedanti-selective addition of propargyl mesylate10to the chiral aldehyde9, as well as a comparison of palladium-catalyzed Stille and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions for the formation of the diene moiety of the target.

This manuscript portrays the CuI-catalyzed Csp-chalcogen bond formation through cross-coupling reactions of propynyl esters and diorganyl dichalcogenides by using DMSO as solvent, at room temperature, under base-free and open-to-air atmosphere. Generally, the reactions have proceeded very smoothly, being tolerant to range of substituents present in both substrates, affording the novel 3-(organochalcogenyl)prop-2-yn-1-yl esters in moderate to good yields. Noteworthy, the 3-(butylselanyl)prop-2-yn-1-yl benzoate proved to be useful as synthetic precursor in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki and Sonogashira type cross-coupling reactions by replacing the carbon-chalcogen bond by new carbon-carbon bonds. Moreover, the 3-(phenylselanyl)prop-2-yn-1-yl benzoate has shown promising in vitro activity against glioblastoma cancer cells.
