Ru(ii)-Catalyzed C7-acyloxylation of indolines with carboxylic acids†
Abstract
Ruthenium(II)-catalyzed site-selective C7-acyloxylation of indolines with carboxylic acids is presented. The substrate scope and functional group tolerance are important practical features. The kinetic isotope studies suggest that C–H bond activation may be the rate-determining step.
