‐Disubstituted Aminomalonitriles and Substituted Arenes: a Synthesis of 1‐Cyano‐bisindolylmethane Analogues
<sup>≠</sup>
A synthesis of 1‐cyano‐bisindolylmethane analogues via an Al(OTf)3‐catalyzed tandem coupling reaction between N,N‐disubstituted aminomalonitriles and substituted arenes has been developed. This method not only provides an alternative synthetic strategy for the synthesis of corresponding functional molecules, but also enriches the volume of bisarylmethanes library to facilitate related functional studies
