1 Palladium-catalyzed Coupling Reactions <strong>of</strong> Indoles 22<br />
results in Suzuki coupling reactions it seems clear that careful selection <strong>of</strong><br />
protecting groups <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> the arylboron reagent together with a judicious<br />
assignment <strong>of</strong> the component roles are crucial.<br />
A highly efficient Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction <strong>of</strong> �-chloroalkylidene-�-<br />
lactones <strong>and</strong> �-lactams with organoboronic acids was developed by a Hou et<br />
al.. [65]<br />
�-Lactones [66] <strong>and</strong> �-lactams [67] are structural units in <strong>biologically</strong> <strong>active</strong> natural<br />
products. Different boronic acids were coupled with (Z)-�-chloroalkylidene-�-<br />
lactones 63 <strong>and</strong> 66 to gave products in excellent yields. It was observed that<br />
electron-withdrawing groups on the phenyl ring <strong>of</strong> aromatic boronic acids were<br />
more efficient than those bearing a electron-donating group. [68] 2-Indolyl-groups<br />
were easily introduced via coupling protocol (Scheme 15). Different effects <strong>of</strong> base<br />
<strong>and</strong> solvents in these Suzuki-Miyaura reactions were tested but did not mention<br />
here. Scheme 15 just shows the coupling reactions with indol-2-yl boronic acid 64<br />
to the corresponding indole lacton products 65 (63%) <strong>and</strong> 67 (62%) in good yield,<br />
in the presence <strong>of</strong> catalst D, K3PO4·3H2O as base in toluene under reflux. The<br />
catalyst D was prepared in advance by stirring 2 equiv <strong>of</strong> Sphos with<br />
PdCl2(PhCN)2 in benzene for 1 day at room temperature. [32a,69]<br />
