Intramolecular Addition of a Dimethylamino C(sp3)–H Bond across C–C Triple Bonds Using IrCl(DTBM-SEGPHOS)(ethylene) Catalyst: Synthesis of Indoles from 2-Alkynyl-N-methylanilines

Abstract
Intramolecular addition of a C(sp3)–H bond of the dimethylamino group across the C–C triple bond in 2-alkynyl-N,N-dimethylanilines is effectively catalyzed by a new iridium complex, IrCl(DTBM-SEGPHOS)(C2H4), in mesitylene at 150 °C. The intramolecular C(sp3)–H addition is followed by double-bond isomerization to afford 3-substituted indoles in good to high yields.

- 10 This reaction was slow at 110 °C: 6a was formed in only 33% yield in the reaction of 4a for 24 hours at 110 °C with Ir/L3 (10 mol%).
- 11 In GC analysis of the reaction mixture, we could not find any significant peaks around the peaks of 4a and 6a. Therefore, we assume that the reaction afforded oligomers of the alkyne.
