Fast, efficient Ru(iv)-catalysed regioselective allylation of indoles using allyl alcohol (without additives) under mild conditions

Abstract

The new Ru(IV) salt, [Ru(η3-C3H5)(Cp*)(CH3CN)2](PF6)2, is an excellent catalyst for the regioselective allylation of a variety of indole compounds using allyl alcohol as substrate; there are no co-catalysts required in this chemistry and the yields and reaction conditions are very favorable.
