Regioselective Ir(III)-catalyzed C-H alkynylation directed by 7-azaindoles

Herein we report a novel iridium(III)-catalyzed ortho-mono-alkynylation of 7-azaindoles under mild conditions. This approach provides a general and straightforward access to form novel 7-azaindole derivatives with ample substrate scope and broad group tolerance.National Science Foundation of China [21172011]SCI(E)EIPubMedARTICLElirt@bjmu.edu.cn102944-29491
