1 Palladium-catalyzed Coupling Reactions <strong>of</strong> Indoles 55<br />

Under this reaction condition the indole coupling products 173 <strong>and</strong> 174 were<br />

isolated in 99% yield in the presence <strong>of</strong> Pd(OAc)2 as catalyst, K3PO4 as base in<br />

toluene/tert-BuOH as solvent.<br />

Additionally to that, they investigated the palladium-catalyzed amination <strong>of</strong> 5aminoindole<br />

175. Scheme 45 shows the nearly selective palladium-catalyzed<br />

amination <strong>of</strong> 5-aminoindole 175 with two different amines 176 <strong>and</strong> 178 to product<br />

177 <strong>and</strong> 179 in very good yields. It is surprising, that a simple arylbromide <strong>and</strong><br />

arylchloride gave arylation <strong>of</strong> the 5-amino group at the indole in moderate to high<br />

selectivity in attendance <strong>of</strong> Pd2(dba)3, lig<strong>and</strong> F (Scheme 43) <strong>and</strong> K2CO3.<br />

Using copper as catalyst the selectivity switched exclusively to the coupling<br />

product 180 (98%). However, it was possible to influence the selectivity by<br />

different metal-catalysts to complementary products.<br />

In a similar way Queiroz et al. reported about the palladium-catalyzed amination <strong>of</strong><br />

ethyl-3-bromobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate 181 with 5-aminoindole 175<br />

(Scheme 46). [128] The precursor 181 was prepared from the corresponding 3amino<br />

compound. The 5-aminoindole was used as coupling component <strong>and</strong> gave<br />
