摘要
Transition-metal carbene X-H insertion reactions (X=N or O) have been employed in the simple conversion of anilines and phenols into indoles and benzofurans, respectively. Thus copper(II) catalyzed N-H insertion reactions of alpha-diazo-beta-ketoesters with N-methylanilines followed by treatment with acidic ion-exchange resin gives indoles. In a similar manner, dirhodium(II) catalyzed O-H insertion reactions of alpha-diazo-beta-ketoesters with phenols followed by treatment with PPA gives benzofurans. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
