B. Danieli et al., APPLICATION OF THE PD-CATALYZED HETEROARYLATION TO THE SYNTHESIS OF 5-(INDOL-2'-YL)PYRIDIN-2-ONE AND 5-(INDOL-2'-YL)PYRAN-2-ONE, Tetrahedron, 54(46), 1998, pp. 14081-14088
The synthesis of 5-(indol-2'-yl)pyridin-2-ones and 5-(indol-2'-yl)pyra
n-2-one by Pd-catalyzed reactions is described. The best results are o
btained using 2-indolylstannanes or 2-indolylzinc halides to be couple
d with 5-bromopyridin-2-ones or 5-bromopyran-2-one in the presence of
Pd(PPh3)(4) catalyst. Other Pd-catalyzed reactions are discussed. (C)
