Dioxomolybdenum(VI)-Catalyzed Reductive Cyclization of Nitroaromatics. Synthesis of Carbazoles and Indoles

Reductive cyclization of nitrobiphenyls and nitrostyrenes to carbazoles and indoles, respectively, is carried out by triphenylphosphine under mild conditions catalyzed by a dichlorodioxomolybdenum(VI) complex. A one‐pot procedure for the synthesis of regioselectively functionalized indoles has been...

Description
Summary:Reductive cyclization of nitrobiphenyls and nitrostyrenes to carbazoles and indoles, respectively, is carried out by triphenylphosphine under mild conditions catalyzed by a dichlorodioxomolybdenum(VI) complex. A one‐pot procedure for the synthesis of regioselectively functionalized indoles has been developed from commercially available o‐nitrobenzaldehydes and phosphoranes.
