A new and selective C鈥揘 bond oxidative cleavage method to 3-acylated indoles by Pd-catalyzed oxidative cross coupling of indoles with 伪-amino carbonyl compounds has been developed; moreover, one-pot synthesis of 3-acylated indoles from 2-ethynylanilines and 伪-amino carbonyl compounds has also been established. Importantly, the products 3-acylated indoles can be used to construct polyheterocyclic compound, which can be employed as efficient probes for Hg2+ and Fe3+.
