Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed dearomative reaction of indoles has been developed through a domino Heck/gem-difluorovinylation sequence. By taking advantage of a difluorocarbene precursor (ClCF2COONa), the palladium difluorocarbene ([Pd]
CF2) species was formed smoothly. Then, a migratory insertion/β-H elimination process enabled access to polycyclic indolines containing 1,1-difluoroethylene units in acceptable yields with a broad substrate scope, which also showed dearomative gem-difluorovinylation for the first time. Remarkably, the superb diversified transformations allowed the product to install various functional groups.
Introduction
gem-Difluoroalkenes are widely used in the fields of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, materials and fine chemicals (Fig. 1A).1–4 Moreover, a number of valuable compounds can be converted by the transformations of gem-difluoroalkenes with radicals, carbon-metal species, and nucleophiles.5–7 So far, a range of methods have been developed to prepare gem-difluoroalkene derivatives.7–11 Traditionally, the well-known Julia-Kocienski12–14 and Wittig15–19 reactions are confined to aldehyde and ketone substrates. In recent years, the defluorinative functionalization of trifluoromethyl olefins has been explored in detail,20–22 but the synthesis of trifluoromethyl olefins is cumbersome.23 Besides, gem-difluoroalkenes can also be acquired from diazo compounds,24–27 which have potential safety hazards. Consequently, it is necessary to develop a new strategy to get gem-difluoroalkenes.

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with carbenes have been extensively studied.28 C
C double bonds can be constructed smoothly through general procedures of carbene migratory insertion and β-H elimination.29 Studies mainly focus on nonfluorinated carbenes, and β-H elimination involving difluorocarbene has not been reported. Even the conversion of metal difluorocarbene ([M]
CF2) is a massive challenge due to limited reaction types.30 In 2015, Zhang and coworkers reported the first metal difluorocarbene coupling (MeDiC) reaction for synthesizing organofluorine compounds via palladium catalysis.31 Thereafter, several successful transformations of [Pd]
CF2 were reported,31–37 but most of the coupling reagents are limited to nucleophilic arylboronic acids and esters (Scheme 1a).31–35 Furthermore, in the only research involving the coupling of electrophilic aryl halides, the hydrolysis of [Pd]
CF2 is inevitable (Scheme 1b).38 On this foundation, we expect to inhibit the hydrolysis by the β-H elimination process to prepare gem-difluoroalkenes and expand the coupling of aryl halides with difluorocarbene ulteriorly. Meanwhile, considering the operability as a crystalline solid and low cost, ClCF2COONa is chosen as the difluorocarbene precursor.39

The assembly of polycyclic indoline derivatives remains one of the most interesting subjects in organic synthesis40–45 due to the fact that many natural products contain constitutional units (Fig. 1B).46–49 At present, the production of polycyclic indoline scaffolds has been established by palladium-catalyzed intramolecular Heck dearomatization of indoles (Scheme 1c).50–68 On the one hand, 1,2-difunctionalization of indoles is achieved when the resulting benzyl-Pd species are captured with diverse nucleophiles that can effectively form various C–X (H, C, N, O, P, B, and Si) bonds. On the other hand, the reactions can be terminated by β-H elimination to construct C
C double bonds.48,60,64–66 However, limited precursors restrict the installation of functionalized C
C double bonds. Inspired by our first attempt at dearomatization of indoles,67 we present herein an innovative idea for synthesizing gem-difluoroalkenes from N-(2-bromobenzoyl)indoles and ClCF2COONa. Remarkably, it is the first report of dearomative gem-difluorovinylation.
Results and discussion
With this thinking in mind, N-acyl indole 1a and ClCF2COONa were selected as model substrates in the palladium/ligand catalytic system to explore the optimal conditions (Table 1). As expected, when Pd(OAc)2/PCy3 was used as a catalyst with K2CO3 in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) at 120 °C for 12 h, the process of dearomative gem-difluorovinylation was carried out smoothly to afford the expectant product 3a in 45% yield (Table 1, entry 1). The structure of 3a was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis (see the ESI†). Then, K3PO4 and NEt3 as bases were tested, but they were unfavorable for the reaction compared to K2CO3 (Table 1, entries 2 and 3). And several ligands such as dpppe, PPh3, and DPEphos were studied, and the results showed that DPEphos was a suitable ligand to get 3a in 60% yield (Table 1, entries 4–6). Substituting Pd(TFA)2 for Pd(OAc)2, the yield of the target product decreased to 42% (Table 1, entry 7). When PdCl2 was used as the catalyst, 3a was not generated (Table 1, entry 8). Only a trace amount of 3a was obtained by changing the solvent to 1,4-dioxane or toluene (Table 1, entries 9 and 10). We reduced the amount of ligand to 12 mol%, and the yield of the final product was 63% (Table 1, entry 11). To our delight, when 4 Å molecular sieves (4 Å MS) were added to the reaction, the yield of the desired product improved to 73% (Table 1, entry 12). On this foundation, the amount of DCE was raised to 3 mL, and the yield of product 3a further increased to 79% (Table 1, entry 13). Afterwards, difluorocarbene precursors such as BrCF2TMS and ClCF2COOEt were investigated with unsatisfactory results (Table 1, entries 14 and 15). The result was poor when the amount of Pd(OAc)2 was lowered to 5 mol% (Table 1, entry 16). Finally, we determined that the best reaction conditions were to use Pd(OAc)2 (10 mol%), DPEphos (12 mol%), K2CO3 (3.0 equiv.), and 4 Å MS (100 mg) in DCE (3 mL) under N2 at 120 °C for 12 h.

The optimal reaction conditions for the synthesis of 3a were evaluated by using indole derivatives containing different substituents and ClCF2COONa. As shown in Table 2, electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on indoles' C5 and C6 positions could afford the desired products in 28–79% yields (3a–3f), and electron-donating groups helped to get better results (3e–3f). Compared with the electron-withdrawing groups that provided related products in 35–56% yields (3g–3k), the electron-donating group on N-benzoyl was more conducive to the reaction in 70–84% yields (3l–3n). However, due to the influence of steric hindrance, the substrate with a methyl group at the C3 position of N-benzoyl provided the corresponding product 3o in only 17% yield. When both indole and N-benzoyl were substituted, the desired product 3p was obtained in 33% yield. A substrate containing a naphthalene ring was tried and led to 3q in 68% yield, but heteroaromatic bromine (pyridine-containing) and non-substituted indole (R2 = H) failed (3r–3s). In the cases of phenyl and substituted phenyl (4-fluorophenyl, 3-chlorophenyl, and 3-methoxyphenyl) attached at the C2 position of indoles, the protocol went smoothly with 28–51% yields (3t–3w). The structure of 3t was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis (see the ESI†).
Reaction conditions: 1 (0.2 mmol), 2a (2.0 equiv.), Pd(OAc)2 (10 mol%), DPEPhos (12 mol%), K2CO3 (3.0 equiv.), 4 Å MS (100 mg) and DCE (3.0 mL) at 120 °C for 12 h under a N2 atmosphere. Isolated yield. NR = no reaction.

Furthermore, the substrate scope was extended with a methoxyl group substituent at the N-benzoyl position (Table 3). Indole without a substituent on the benzene ring produced 3x in 81% yield. With electron-donating groups (Me- and MeO-) at the C5 position of indoles, the desired products 3y–3z were obtained in 69–85% yields. In contrast, the corresponding products were obtained in lower yields when halogen groups (F- and Cl-) were assembled at the same position (3aa–3ab). And then, 7-azaindole was tested but failed to obtain product 3ac. Next, the desired product 3ad was smoothly produced in 72% yield by changing the methoxy group at the C4 position of N-benzoyl. In addition, a dimethoxy group substituted substrate was also tolerated with this procedure and provided the product 3ae in 64% yield. Finally, C2-substituted indoles were studied. Although 2-ethyl indole and 2-phenyl indole could afford the anticipated products 3af–3ag in 58–74% yields, cyano and ester groups were the failed choices (3ah–3ai). In short, installing MeO- on the N-benzoyl was an excellent choice to improve the yields.
Reaction conditions: 1 (0.2 mmol), 2a (2.0 equiv.), Pd(OAc)2 (10 mol%), DPEPhos (12 mol%), K2CO3 (3.0 equiv.), 4 Å MS (100 mg) and DCE (3.0 mL) at 120 °C for 12 h under a N2 atmosphere. Isolated yield. NR = no reaction.

The synthetic transformations of product 3a indicated the practicability of the method (Scheme 2). gem-Difluorovinyl was successfully transformed into eight useful functional groups. Firstly, α-difluoro(thio)methylated alcohol 4a was obtained in 66% yield by a three-component reaction between compound 3a, p-toluenethiol and oxygen under mild conditions. And the coupling of 3a with p-toluenethiol resulted in α,α-difluoroalkylthioether 4b in 85% yield in dry DCE at 80 °C for 15 min. When 3a was treated with trimethylsilyl cyanide and imidazole, the nucleophilic vinylic substitution reaction (SNV) worked well and afforded the corresponding products 4c and 4d in good yields. Moreover, the cyclization of 3a with benzoyl hydrazine was explored, thus accessing unsymmetrical 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole in 79% yield with the assistance of Cs2CO3 (4e). Besides, the fluoro-functionalization reactions of 3a with selectfluor and O-nucleophiles were conducted smoothly in acetonitrile. Therefore, α-CF3 derivatives 4f and 4g could be synthesized in ideal yields. Remarkably, in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide and water, 3a has successfully worked with dibutylamine to provide arylacetamide 4h in 43% yield. And we confirmed the structure of 4h by X-ray crystallographic analysis (see the ESI†).

Based on previous research and our understanding on palladium-catalyzed Heck dearomatization of indoles, a possible reaction process is shown in Scheme 3. The Pd(0) species was formed under the action of the ligand, and the reaction was initiated by the oxidative addition of Pd(0) to aryl bromide to afford the Pd(II) species A. The benzyl-Pd(II) intermediate B was generated by the intramolecular coordination and migratory insertion of the Pd(II) species into indole. Difluorocarbene, which formed from ClCF2COONa in situ in the presence of bases, was captured by intermediate B to provide the Pd(II)=CF2 species C. Following carbene migratory insertion,34 the σ-alkyl-Pd(II) species D was obtained. Then, the β-hydride elimination of the species D resulted in the final product 3a and Pd(II) species E. Finally, with the assistance of a base, Pd(0) was regenerated for the next catalytic cycle.

Conclusions
In summary, polycyclic indoline derivatives containing 1,1-difluoroethylene units are prepared by palladium-catalyzed intramolecular Heck dearomatization of indoles with ClCF2COONa. β-H elimination involving [Pd]
CF2 provides a new synthetic course for gem-difluoroalkenes. In addition, it is the first report of dearomative gem-difluorovinylation, which has a broad substrates scope and acceptable yields. Further diversified transformations of the product show the practicability of this methodology.
