Much effort has been directed toward the development of methods for the functionalization of the indole nucleus. The protocol uses a catalytic amount of catalyzed platinum as a promoting agent, producing N-allylated indoles in considerable yields. Moreover, water, with its large heat capacity, is one of the most abundant molecules on earth. The use of water as a solvent may bring about many environmental benefits. Herein, we have demonstrated that the platinum-catalyzed selective N-allylation of 2,3-disubstituted indoles proceeds in water. This method provides a simple, convenient, and efficient way to afford a high yield of N-allylated indoles. ER -
