Abstract
Abstract The synthesis of 5-(indol-2′-yl)pyridin-2-ones and 5-(indol-2′-yl)pyran-2-one by Pd-catalyzed reactions is described. The best results are obtained using 2-indolylstannanes or 2-indolylzinc halides to be coupled with 5-bromopyridin-2-ones or 5-bromopyran-2-one in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 as catalyst. Other Pd-catalyzed reactions are discussed.
