A palladium-catalyzed one-pot procedure for the regioselective dimerization and cyanation of indoles
摘要:
A one-pot method for the regioselective dimerization and cyanation of indoles has been developed. The reaction uses safe and nontoxic K-4[Fe(CN)(6)]center dot 3H(2)O as the cyanating agent which introduces selectively a cyano group into the 3-position of biindoles with high efficiency.
