Unprecedented switchable synthesis of 3-aminoindolines and 2'-aminoarylacetic acids using Grignard reagents and 3-azido-2-hydroxyindolines has been achieved only by changing the reaction conditions.
Nitrone-directed, transition metal-catalysed C–H activation reactions enable the design of cascade processes for the efficient assembly of complex, nitrogen-containing molecules.
The advancements in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles via Rh(III)-catalyzed chelation-assisted tandem C–H activation/carbene insertion/annulation with diazo compounds as carbene precursors have been summarized.
This review highlights oxidation-induced ring-formation/radical addition/rearrangement strategies via oxidative activation of C2–C3 π bond of indoles and the corresponding asymmetric synthesis applications to indole alkaloids and bioactive compounds.
