A Tandem Hydroformylation‐Organocatalyzed Friedel‐Crafts Reaction for the Synthesis of Diindolylmethanes

Abstract: Herein, we present an efficient and atom‐economic tandem hydroformylation organocatalyzed Friedel‐Crafts reaction sequence for the synthesis of diindolylmethanes. Classic syntheses have relied on (Lewis) acid activation of aldehydes, which are often not commercially available and rather sensitive in handling. In contrast, the combination of rhodium‐catalyzed hydroformylation and subsequent organocatalytic activation of the in‐situ formed aldehydes allows the use of readily available and stable alkenes with various functional groups while avoiding acidic conditions to expand the range of available diindolylmethanes. A broad scope of diindolylmethanes was prepared in yields up to 85 % demonstrates the utility of the presented method.
