The first development of an external oxidant-compatible system involving a phosphorus(III)-directed C-H functionalization has been uncovered. An efficient C-H esterification of indoles with CO and alcohols has been reported in which the high reactivity and the exclusive C7-selectivity derives from the selection of a P(III)-directing group and the utilization of benzoquinone as an external oxidant with palladium catalysis. This strategy shows many advantages, involving an easily accessible and re ...[more]
