Article Synopsis
  • Researchers explored how adding sulfur to propargylic carboxylates affects gold-catalyzed reactions involving alkynes.
  • These reactions lead to the creation of functionalized indole products under mild conditions using a regiodivergent approach.
  • Selective carboxylate migrations (both 1,2 and 1,3) were achieved, with indole attaching in a 1,4 position relative to the sulfenyl group, influenced by factors like the catalyst system and counterion.

C3-selective C-C bond formation on benzothiophenes is challenging, and few direct functionalization methods are available. A gold-catalyzed reaction of alkynes with benzothiophene -oxides provides regioselective entry into C3-alkylated benzothiophenes with the C7-alkylated isomer as the minor product. This oxyarylation reaction works with alkyl and aryl alkynes and substituted and unsubstituted benzothiophenes.
