Silver‐Mediated Intermolecular 1,2‐Alkylarylation of Styrenes with α‐Carbonyl Alkyl Bromides and Indoles

Abstract A new iron‐facilitated silver‐mediated radical 1,2‐alkylarylation of styrenes with α‐carbonyl alkyl bromides and indoles is described, and two new C−C bonds were generated in a single step through a sequence of intermolecular C(sp 3 )−Br functionalization and C(sp 2 )−H functionalization across the alkenes. This method provides an efficient access to alkylated indoles with broad substrate scope and excellent selectivity.
