Abstract
A Rh(III)-catalyzed selective coupling of N-methoxy-1H-indole-1-carboxamide and aryl boronic acids is reported. The coupling is mild and efficient toward diverse product formation, with selective C-C and C-C/C-N bond formation. Kinetic isotope effects studies were conducted to reveal a mechanism of C-H activation and electrophilic addition.
