RT Journal Article T1 AgNO3·SiO2: Convenient AgNPs source for the sustainable hydrofunctionalization of allenyl-indoles using heterogeneous catalysis A1 Luna Costales, Amparo A1 Herrera García, Fernando A1 Murillo Lizcano, Alejandro A1 Higuera Velasco, Sheila A1 Fernández López, Israel A1 Almendros Requena, Pedro AB Supported silver nitrate in silica gel has been demonstrated as an excellent heterogeneous catalytic system for the selective hydroarylation of indole-tethered allenes, with a selectivity reversal in comparison with homogeneous gold catalysis. In this way, the controlled preparation of 1,2-disubstituted-9H-carbazoles, 1,2-disubstituted-4,9-dihydro-1H-carbazoles, and 2,4-disubstituted-spiro[cyclopentane-1,3′-indol]-3-enes has been accomplished. Control experiments supported by Density Functional Theory calculations strongly suggest that indole-tethered allenes react through a 5-endo-dig-carbometallation/rearrangement sequence, which contrasts to the previously reported 6-endo-dig-carbometallation pathway promoted by [Au(I)]-catalysts in related systems.
