Computational exploration of the reaction mechanism of the Cu(+)-catalysed synthesis of indoles from N-aryl enaminones

We have studied the role of Cu(+)-phenantroline as a catalyst in the cyclization of N-aryl-enaminones using density-functional theory computations. The catalyst was found to bind the substrate upon deprotonation of its eneaminone, and to dramatically increase the acidity of the carbon adjacent to th...
