Abstract
Tricarbonyl(
η
6-indole)chromium(0) complexes substituted at the C2 and/or C3 positions have been reduced to the corresponding indoline complexes by the action of a hydride donor in trifluoroacetic acid. NaBH
3CN and NaBH
4 were found to be superior to Et
3SiH as hydride sources. In general, reductions involving the use of NaBH
3CN were found to occur with greater stereoselectivity as compared to reductions using NaBH
4. With certain (indole)chromium complexes, this stereoselectivity was a result of preferential hydride addition from the
endo face, as revealed by single crystal X-ray analysis.
