1. General information

Unless otherwise noted, all commercial materials and solvents were used without

further purification. Commercially available chemicals were obtained from Energy

Chemical, TCI, Alfa Aesar and J&K. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was carried

out on GF254 plates (0.25 mm layer thickness) and visualized under UV light (254

nm). The silica gel (200-300 meshes) was used for column chromatography. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on Agilent 400 MHz spectrometer using TMS as

internal standard. Spin multiplicities are given as s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q

(quartet), m (multiplet), dd (doublet of doublet), td (triplet of doublet), as well as brs

(broad). Coupling constants (J) are given in hertz (Hz). High resolution mass spectra

were obtained on Agilent 6210 ESI/TOF spectrometer.

2. Preparation of starting materials

(1) N-Pyrimidinyl-2-methyl indoles 1a-f, N-pyrimidinyl-2,3-dimethyl indole 1g,

9-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole 1x, and 1-(5-bromopyrimidin

-2-yl)-2-ethyl-1H-indole 1y were prepared according to literature procesure.1

(2) N-Pyrimidinyl-2,3-disubstituted indoles 1h-v were prepared via a modified

Fischer indole synthesis2 followed by protection for the indole -NH.1

(3) 1-(5-Bromopyrimidin-2-yl)-2-methyl-3-propyl-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile 1w was

prepared via a Fischer indole synthesis3 followed by protection for the indole

-NH.1

(4) All the tert-butyl peresters were prepared according to literature procedure.4

3. General procedure for the Co(II)-catalyzed C2α-acyloxylation

 

To a 25 mL of Schlenk tube equipped with a Teflon-coated magnetic stir bar were

added indole 1 (0.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv), perester 2 (1.5 mmol, 3.0 equiv), Co(acac)2

(0.05 mmol, 10 mol%), and toluene (3 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at 80 oC

for 1.5 to 24 hours. Upon completion of the reaction as monitored by TLC, the

reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, and concentrated under

reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography on

(1) Gram-scale synthesis

Following the general procedure, to a solution of indole 1d (1.15 g, 4.0 mmol) in

toluene (24 mL) were added perester 2a (2.32 mL, 12.0 mmol) and Co(acac)2 (0.104 g,

0.4 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 80 oC for 3 hours. The reaction

mixture was then cooled to room temperature, and concentrated under reduced

pressure. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica

gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 30/1 as eluent) to give the desired product 3da as

a white solid (0.88 g, 54% yield).

Following the general procedure,  to a solution of indole 1g (0.65 g, 2.5 mmol) in

toluene (15 mL) were added perester 2a (1.45 mL, 5.0 mmol) and Co(acac)2 (0.065 g,

0.25 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 80 oC for 1.5 hours. The reaction

mixture was then cooled to room temperature, and concentrated under reduced

pressure. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica

gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 30/1 as eluent) to give the desired product 3ga as

a white solid (0.31 g, 36% yield).

Following the general procedure, to a solution of indole 1za (1.45 g, 10.0 mmol) in

toluene (60 mL) were added perester 2a (5.71 mL, 30.0 mmol) and Co(acac)2 (0.26 g,

1.0 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 60 oC for 5 hours. The reaction

mixture was then cooled to room temperature, and concentrated under reduced

pressure. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica

gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 30/1 as eluent) to give the desired product 3za as

a white solid (1.15 g, 43% yield).

(2) Synthetic applications

To a stirred solution of NaOH (12.0 mg, 0.30 mmol) in methanol (1.5 mL) was

added 3da (55.0 mg, 0.13 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room

temperature (Monitored by TLC). After that, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/acetate ethyl = 8/1 as eluent) to give the desired product 4 as a white solid (37.1 mg, 90% yield). mp 122-124 oC; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.78 (s, 2H), 8.48 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.32 (t, J = 7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.25 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H), 6.71 (s, 1H), 4.76 (s, 2H); 13C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl3) δ 158.7, 155.9, 139.7, 136.8, 129.2, 124.2, 122.9, 120.9, 115.5, 113.7, 110.2, 58.0; HRMS (ESI/ [M+H]+) calcd for C13H11BrN3O

To a stirred solution of 3za (40.0 mg, 0.15 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (1.5 mL) was added

TMSOTf (5.6 µL, 0.03 mmol) at -25 °C, and the mixture was stirred for 12 hours at the same

temperature. After that, the reaction mixture was quenched with a saturated solution of

NaHCO3 and extracted with CH2Cl2, and the organic layer was washed with brine and dried

with Na2SO4. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by

flash column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/AcOEt = 15:1 as eluent) to give 5
