On August 7, 2015, Chen, Tao; Foo, Thomas Jian Yao; Yeung, Ying-Yeung published an article.Reference of Methyl 2-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate The title of the article was Indole-Catalyzed Bromolactonization in Lipophilic Solvent: A Solid-Liquid Phase Transfer Approach. And the article contained the following:
We have developed a novel indole-catalyzed bromolactonization of olefinic acids. The reaction could be conducted in lipophilic solvent through a solid-liquid phase transfer mechanism. This catalytic protocol has been applied to the synthesis of base-sensitive bromolactones. The experimental process involved the reaction of Methyl 2-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate(cas: 65417-22-3).Reference of Methyl 2-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate
