Abstract

α-Aryl-a-aminocarbonyloxime O-pentafluorobenzoates are found to be promising precursors for synthesis of 2 3-disubstituted indole derivatives catalyzed by PdCl2(MeCN)2 in the presence of MgO as a base. The reaction is supposed to proceed via intramolecular aromatic C-H amination of a vinyl nitrene-palladium intermediate.
