The reactions of N-sulfonylindoles with H-phosphine oxides under oxidative conditions give a wide range of C-3 phosphorylated free (NH)-indoles. Several mild oxidants, such as AgNO3, di- tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP), and K2S2O8, can be used to promote this transformation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transition metal catalyzed C−H phosphorylation remains an unsolved challenge. Reported methods are generally limited in scope and require stoichiometric silver salts as oxidants. Reported here is an electrochemically driven RhIII‐catalyzed aryl C−H phosphorylation reaction that proceeds through H2 evolution, obviating the need for stoichiometric metal oxidants. The method is compatible with a variety of aryl C−H and P−H coupling partners and particularly useful for synthesizing triarylphosphine oxides from diarylphosphine oxides, which are often difficult coupling partners for transition metal catalyzed C−H phosphorylation reactions. Experimental results suggest that the mechanism responsible for the C−P bond formation involves an oxidation‐induced reductive elimination process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The title reactions are accomplished by oxidative cross-coupling of indoles [(I) and (VI)] with aldehydes (II) in the presence of tBu-OOH as mild oxidizing agent catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
