Direct functionalization of native (N-H) indoles via C-H activation remains a challenge. Herein, we report a salicylaldehyde-promoted cobalt-catalyzed selective C2-H Heck reaction of native (N-H) indoles with both active and unactivated olefins in the presence of free N-H bonds. A series of structurally diverse C2-alkenylated native (N-H) indoles including natural product and drug derivatives were prepared directly and effectively without additional preprotection and deprotection procedures.
