A Procedure for Transforming Indoles into Indolequinones
摘要:
A procedure that converts a series of structurally diverse, readily available indole derivatives to their corresponding indolequinones is described. The three-step route commences with an iridium catalyzed C-H borylation to give a 7-borylindole that upon oxidationhydrolysis affords the 7-hydroxyindole. Subsequent oxidation provides the indolequinone.
