Synthesis of 3-acylindoles via copper-mediated oxidative decarbethoxylation of ethyl arylacetates

Abstract

An efficient regioselective C-3 acylation of free indoles (N–H) has been accomplished via oxidative decarbethoxylation of easily available ethyl arylacetates using Cu(OAc)2 and KOtBu in DMSO.
