Description A palladium-catalyzed 1,2-carboamination through C−H activation at room temperature is reported for the synthesis of 2-arylindoles, and indolines from readily
available, inexpensive aryl ureas and vinyl arenes. The reaction initiates with a urea-directed electrophilic ortho palladation, alkene insertion, and β-hydride elimination sequences to provide the Fujiwara−Moritani arylation product. Subsequently, aza-Wacker cyclization, and β-hydride elimination provide the 2-arylindoles in high yields. Intercepting the common σ-alkyl-Pd intermediate, corresponding indolines are also achieved. The indoline formation is attributed to the generation of stabilized, cationic π-benzyl-Pd species to suppress β-hydride elimination.
