Abstract
3-Aroylindoles have been prepared via copper-catalyzed cyclization of N-(2-iodoaryl)enaminones, readily available from 2-iodoanilines and α,β-ynones. The reaction tolerates a variety of useful functionalities including ether, keto, cyano, bromo, and chloro substituents. This indole synthesis can also be carried out from 2-iodoanilines and α,β-ynones through a sequential process that omits the isolation of enaminone intermediates.

Typical Procedure for the Cyclization of N -(2-Iodoaryl)-enaminones 1 to 3-Acylindoles 2 To a stirred solution of 1d (118.2 mg, 0.25 mmol) in DMF (2.5 mL), CuI (2.4 mg, 0.0125 mmol), 1,10-phenanthroline (2.3 mg, 0.0125 mmol), and K2CO3 (69.0 mg, 0.50 mmol) were added at r.t. The reaction mixture was warmed at 100 ˚C and stirred for 10 h. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with Et2O, washed with 1 N HCl and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on SiO2 [n-hexane-EtOAc, 70:30] to afford 82.8 mg (96% yield) of 2d: white solid; mp 184-185 ˚C.

13Typical Procedure for the Preparation of 3-Acylindoles 2 Omitting the Isolation of Enaminone Intermediates To a stirred solution of 2-iodoaniline (109.5 mg, 0.5 mmol) in MeOH (1.0 mL), 1,3-diphenylprop-2-yn-1-one (154.5 mg, 0.75 mmol) was added at r.t. The reaction mixture was warmed at 120 ˚C and stirred for 48 h. After that period the volatile materials were evaporated at reduced pressure, and CuI (4.8 mg, 0.025 mmol), 1,10-phenanthroline (4.5 mg, 0.025 mmol), K2CO3 (138.0 mg, 1.0 mmol), and DMF (4 mL) were added. The reaction mixture was warmed at 100 ˚C and stirred for 2.5 h. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with Et2O, washed with1 N HCl and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on SiO2 [n-hexane-EtOAc, 75:25] to afford 106 mg (76% yield) of 2a: white solid; mp 223-224 ˚C.
