1 Palladium-catalyzed Coupling Reactions <strong>of</strong> Indoles 52<br />

Beletskaya <strong>and</strong> co-workers examined the possibility <strong>of</strong> applying nitrogencontaining<br />

groups (amino, amido, ureido) into halogen-substituted <strong>indoles</strong>,<br />

benz<strong>of</strong>urans <strong>and</strong> tetrahydro-carbazoles. [125] Following Scheme 42 demonstrates<br />

selective examples <strong>of</strong> the palladium-catalyzed amination <strong>of</strong> bromo<strong>indoles</strong> with<br />

amines.<br />

Bromo<strong>indoles</strong> having no substituent on the nitrogen atom did not undergo the<br />

palladium-catalyzed amination reaction. Additionally they observed quantitative<br />

removal <strong>of</strong> acetyl <strong>and</strong> phenylsulfonyl protecting groups so that these substrates<br />

could not be used in amination reaction as well.<br />

The authors succeeded in obtaining the target product 164 in 83% yield by<br />

coupling indole 162 with piperidine using Pd2(dba)3 (1 mol%) as catalyst, (tert-<br />

Bu2BP-phos) (3 mol%) as lig<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> tert-BuONa as base in toluene at 100 °C in 5<br />

h. The amount <strong>of</strong> palladium catalyst was increased to 2 mol% (tert-BuONa, 6<br />

mol%) to attain moderate yield <strong>of</strong> amination product 165 (53%) in 10 h in the less<br />

smooth reaction with bromomindole 163.<br />
