Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) A mild and general cross-coupling reaction of 2-indolylsilanols has been developed. The experimental variables that lead to successful coupling are (1) the use of sodium terf-butoxide as the activator, (2) the use of copper(l) iodide in stoichiometric quantities, and (3) the use of Pd2-(dba)3·CHCl3 as the catalyst. Under these conditions N-(Boc)-2-indolyldimethylsilanol reacts with a variety of aromatic iodides to afford the coupling products in good yield (70-84%).
