Functionalization of 2-bromo-N-benzyl indole via lithium–bromide exchange
摘要:
The carbofunctionalization of 2-bromo-N-benzyl indole via lithium-bromide exchange is presented. The reaction scope is demonstrated by providing a variety of substrate examples that deliver carbofunctionalized products in good-to-excellent yields. The competition between nucleophilic addition and proton transfer is discussed. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
