Carbene-catalyzed indole 3-Methyl C(sp3)-H bond functionalization

The metal-free catalytic functionalization of aromatic sp2-carbons and benzylic sp3-carbons remains challenging. Here we report a carbene-catalyzed functionalization of the 3-methyl sp3-carbon attached to 2-formyl-indoles. The reaction proceeds through an NHC-bound o-quinodimethane as the key interm...
