Mechanism of Rh2(II)-Catalyzed Indole Formation: The Catalyst Does Not Control Product Selectivity. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Possible mechanisms for Rh-promoted indole formation from vinyl/azidoarenes were examined computationally, and a mechanism is proposed in which the Rh catalyst promotes generation of a nitrene but is not directly involved in cyclization.
