A highly regioselective alkynylation of indoles was accomplished for the assembly of functionalized C2 alkynyl indoles in moderate to good yields with a primary amine as the directing group. This protocol represented an efficient palladium-catalyzed C(sp2)-H activation/alkynylation using water/aqueous media as a sustainable solvent. Moreover, the scalability was demonstrated and further transformations of the alkynylating products were achieved, demonstrated the potential applications in synthetic and pharmaceutical chem. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggested that the cleavage of the C2 C-H bond of indoles was likely to be the rate-determining step in this reaction. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of 5-Fluoro-1H-indole(cas: 399-52-0Formula: C8H6FN)
5-Fluoro-1H-indole(cas: 399-52-0) is a member of aromaticfluorinated building blocks. Fluorine-containing aromatics have been incorporated into crop-protection chemicals (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides). Liquid crystals, positron emission tomography, and imaging systems represent new areas where fluoroaromatics and fluoroheterocyclics have gained attention.Formula: C8H6FN
