1 Palladium-catalyzed Coupling Reactions <strong>of</strong> Indoles 53<br />

The reaction was accompanied by formation <strong>of</strong> the dehydro-brominated byproduct<br />

with a yield <strong>of</strong> 30%. The last example shows the palladium-catalyzed<br />

amidation <strong>of</strong> indole 163 with urea. Unlike amination, the amidation <strong>of</strong> 6bromoindole<br />

163 was characterized by high yield <strong>of</strong> product 166. The yield <strong>of</strong> the<br />

corresponding N,N-diethylhetarylurea in the presence <strong>of</strong> 3,5-(CF3)2Xantphos was<br />

optimized to 91%.<br />

While in cases above amination with bromo<strong>indoles</strong> bearing a free NH did not<br />

succeed, the next examples will demonstrate the first coupling <strong>of</strong> amines with<br />

chloro- <strong>and</strong> bromo<strong>indoles</strong> bearing a free NH-group.<br />

Buchwald <strong>and</strong> co-workers reported about the palladium-catalyzed amination <strong>of</strong><br />

different heteroaryl halides by utilizing bulky electron-rich biaryl phosphine<br />

lig<strong>and</strong>s. [126]<br />
