Abstract

Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed C2-benzylation and allylation of indoles with organosilicon reagents via chelation-assisted C-H activation has been developed. This protocol demonstrates a board substrate scope, tolerates a broad range of synthetically useful functional groups, and enables a straightforward route to C2-benzyl- and allylindole derivatives.
