3-(Alkylsulfanyl)- and 3-(arylsulfanyl)indoles were efficiently prepared by the reaction of indoles with sodium sulfinates mediated by iodineâPPh3 in ethanol. The salient features of the present protocol are simplicity, high efficiency, non-anhydrous conditions, environmentally friendly reagents and solvent, and short reaction time.
This protocol describes an iodine/manganese catalytic system for dehydrogenative oxidative coupling reaction of indoles with thiols in anisole. Particularly, the dual roles of anisole have been first demonstrated as a solvent and as a promoter via the formation of an oxonium ionintermediate to accelerate the generation of products. A series of sulfenylindoles are readily constructed under aerobic

A simple and convenient method has been developed for the construction of 3-thioindoles via molecular iodine-catalyzed direct thiolation of indoles with thiols. The present protocol, which employs thiols as the thiolating agents, inexpensive molecular iodine as the catalyst, and environmentally benign air as the oxidant, allows the regioselective generation of 3-thioindoles in good to excellent yields
A versatile method for the synthesis of 3-sulfenylated indoles via TBAI promoted sulfenylation of indoles with sulfonyl chlorides in one pot has been presented. This system features highly regioselective, metal-free, easy operation, and shows a broad functional group tolerance leading to excellent yields. And this reaction could be easily conducted in 10 mmol scale with high effectivity. A plausible
