Scheme 48. Intramolecular aryl amidation with complex cross-coupling partners.<br />

The amidation reactions <strong>of</strong> 186 <strong>and</strong> 188 were done in a Schlenk tube in<br />

attendance <strong>of</strong> Pd2(dba)3 (7 mol%), Xantphos (23 mol%) <strong>and</strong> Cs2CO3 (1.5 equiv) in<br />

dioxane for 22 h. The complex coupling products 187 <strong>and</strong> 189 were isolated in<br />

88% <strong>and</strong> 61%, respectively. The intramolecular aryl amidation formed the key<br />

intermediate precursor for the CC-1065 subunit.<br />

Numerous known <strong>indoles</strong>, especially amino-functionalized derivatives represent<br />

key structures for various <strong>biologically</strong> <strong>active</strong> compounds. The amination <strong>of</strong> 3silyloxy-5-bromoindole<br />

190 with several primary <strong>and</strong> secondary amines led to new<br />

potentially bio<strong>active</strong> amino-functionalized indole derivatives. [137]<br />

A novel palladium catalyst for Buchwald-Hartwig amination was developed by<br />

Beller <strong>and</strong> co-workers <strong>and</strong> opened new ways to interesting tryptamine derivatives.<br />

In Scheme 49 the general reaction sequence <strong>and</strong> the resulted coupling products<br />

191a-j can be seen in good to excellent yields. They studied different effects <strong>of</strong><br />

base, <strong>and</strong> lig<strong>and</strong>s on the reaction <strong>and</strong> optimized the reaction conditions to 1 mol%<br />

Pd(OAc)2, 2 mol% N-phenyl-2-(di-1-adamantylphosphino)pyrrole I as <strong>catalytic</strong><br />

system, LiHMDS as base in toluene for 24 h at 100 °C. The corresponding indole<br />

products 191a-j obtained in 40-91% yield. This <strong>catalytic</strong> system works well with<br />

different primary <strong>and</strong> secondary amines <strong>and</strong> gave a novel class <strong>of</strong> electron-rich<br />

<strong>indoles</strong>.<br />
