Oxidative carbonylation of N-protected indoles by Rh(iii)-zeolites

Abstract

The oxidative carbonylation of N-protected indoles was investigated to directly synthesize indole-3-carboxylic acids. Using Rh(III)-zeolites as heterogeneous catalysts, the single-site Rh-species reach unprecedented activities (>100 turnovers), while the metal is readily recovered after reaction. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) provided evidence for site-isolation of Rh(III) species on the zeolite.
