The N-debenzylation of aromatic heterocycles such as substituted pyrroles and indoles, having functional groups like ester, amide, halo, and nitrile, by using sodium in liquid ammonia in the presence of t-BuOH at -78°C cleanly affords N-debenzylated aromatic heterocycles in good yields.

A palladium-catalyzed 2-alkylation of indoles with α-bromo esters is developed by employing a P,P=O ligand. The method features excellent regioselectivities, mild reaction conditions, and good functional group compatibility. The employment of the P,P=O ligand as well as 4? molecular sieves were crucial for the success of the transformation. Mechanistic studies indicate the reaction proceed through a radical pathway.

An efficient method for the Ni-catalyzed C3-alkylation of indoles using readily available alcohols as the alkylating reagents has been developed. The alkylation was addressed with an air and moisture-stable binuclear nickel complex ligated by tetrahydroquinolin-8-one as the effective pre-catalyst. The newly developed transformation could accommodate a broad substrate scope including primary/secondary benzylic and aliphatic alcohols and substituted indoles. Mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction proceeds through a borrowing hydrogen pathway.

A nickel-catalyzed reductive decyanation of aromatic nitriles has been developed, in which the readily available and abundant ethanol was applied as the hydride donor. Various functional groups on the aromatic rings, such as alkoxyl, amino, imino and amide, were compatible in this catalytic protocol. Heteroaryl, benzylic and alkenyl nitriles were also tolerated. Mechanistic investigation indicated that ethanol provided hydride efficientlyviaβ-hydride elimination in this reductive decyanation.
