Route to 3-Amidino Indoles via Pd(II)-Catalyzed C–H Bond Activation

Abstract: We report a facile synthesis of 3-amidino indoles from indoles and cyanamides. The reaction is Pd(II)-catalyzed and proceeds via C-H bond activation of the indole in its 3-position followed by a 1,2-addition of the resulting indole-palladium σ-complex to a cyanamide, which provides the corresponding amidine. The preference for 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one (DAF) as the ligand is investigated using DFT calculations, and a plausible reaction pathway is presented.

“…First, the undesired C3 position of the indole ring can undergo innate C–H functionalization. Second, the carboxamide moiety may confiscate the Pd catalyst through robust coordination . In continuation of our interest in Pd-catalyzed C–H activation reactions of C 60 , herein we report the first Pd catalytic system for the C–H activation reaction of N -methoxy-1 H -indole-1-carboxamides with C 60 under mild reaction conditions.…”

“…Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H bond activation of the indole (Scheme 14). 21 Notably, the superior catalytic efficiency of this reaction was obtained by using the Pd(II)/4,5-diazafluoren-9one (DAF) ligand system, instead of well-known Pd(II)/bidentate nitrogen ligands. Under the optimized reaction conditions [Pd(TFA) 2 /DAF, PTSA, DMA, 100 °C), both N-methylindoles and free NH-indoles reacted with various N-disubstituted cyanamides to afford the corresponding 3amidino indoles 8 in reasonable yields.…”

“…Cyanamides have also been demonstrated to be unique building blocks that can participate in an impressive and ever-growing number of transformations involving either the “amino” or the “cyano” groups, or even both. , They are, in addition, excellent candidates for coordination chemistry, notably due to their complexation and bridging properties. , …”
