Abstract

Treatment of 1-(N,N-dimethylsulfamoyl)-1H-indole-5-(N-phenyl)carboxamide (1) with s-butyllithium at -80°C in THF followed by addition of an electrophile gave exclusively the product of C-2 substitution. A second metalation-substitution cycle on this product led to incorporation of the electrophile exclusively at C-4. In the case of the analogous indoline derivative (2), the first o-metalation occurred at C-4 while C-6 was the site of the second o-metalation.
