The nitroso group served as a traceless directing group for the C-H functionalization of N-alkylanilines, ultimately removed after functioning either as an internal oxidant or under subsequent reducing conditions. The unique ability of o-NQ catalysts to aerobically oxidize the N-alkylanilines without using solvents and stoichiometric amounts of oxidants has rendered the new opportunity to develop the telescoped catalyst systems without a need for directly handling the hazardous N-nitroso compounds.

Rh-catalyzed reactions of N-alkyl anilines with internal alkynes at room temperature have been developed using an in situ generated N-nitroso group as a transient oxidizing directing group. Due to mild reaction conditions, this method enabled synthesis of a broad range of N-alkyl indoles, including even two indole-based medicinal compounds. Our work disclosed the feasibility of the transient oxidizing directing group strategy in C-H functionalization reactions, which possesses the potential to enhance overall step-economy and impart new reactivity patterns to substrates.
Rhodium-catalyzed annulation of tertiary aniline N-oxides to N-alkylindoles: Regioselective C-H activation, oxygen-atom transfer, and N-dealkylative cyclization

[Cp?RhIII]-catalyzed annulation of tertiary aniline N-oxides with alkynes was reported to achieve the challenging ortho C-H functionalization of tertiary anilines via N-O bond acting as a traceless directing group. More significantly, this system represents the first example which integrates C-H activation, oxygen-atom transfer, and N-dealkylative cyclization in one reaction. This unprecedented coupling reaction has allowed the construction of N-alkylindole derivatives in high efficiency with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.
