We report a visible-light induced
redox-neutral decarboxylative
cross coupling reaction of indole-3-acetic acid NHPI esters with indoles
using a Ru photosensitizer to deliver a wide range of symmetrical
and unsymmetrical 3,3′-bisindolylmethane derivatives. Furthermore,
the reaction is readily adapted to the preparation of a wide variety
of diarylmethane derivatives.
Allyl sulfides are important organosulfur compounds. K2S2O8 promoted dehydrative cross-coupling between α,α-diaryl allylic alcohols and thiophenols/thiols is demonstrated for the first time, which results in a wide range of allyl...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
