An iodine-catalyzed versatile green method for the synthesis of mono- and 2,3-bis-sulfenyl indoles has been presented. Various indoles can react with alkyl or aryl sodiumsulfinates using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent in PEG400 under microwave conditions. This simple method enabled the rapid synthesis of mono- and 2,3-bis-sulfenylindoles with good to excellent yields under metal free conditions
the direct synthesis of 3-sulfanylindoles from indoles and thiols under an atmospheric pressure of molecular oxygen as a reoxidant. For example, the reaction of 2-phenylindole with benzenethiol in the presence of a catalytic amount of VO(acac)2, potassium iodide, and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol in chlorobenzene under molecular oxygen proceeds to afford 2-phenyl-3-(phenylsulfanyl)indole in 86% yield
