《Ruthenium Pincer Complex Catalyzed Selective Synthesis of C-3 Alkylated Indoles and Bisindolylmethanes Directly from Indoles and Alcohols》 was published in Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis in 2020. These research results belong to Biswas, Nandita; Sharma, Rahul; Srimani, Dipankar. Safety of 1H-Indole The article mentions the following:
Herein, we presented Ru-SNS complex that served as a useful catalyst for the synthesis of alkyl-indoles I [R1 = H, 2-Me, 5-OMe, etc.; R2 = H, Me; R3 = Me, Et, Bn, etc.] via C-3 alkylation of 1H-indoles with various aliphatic primary and secondary alcs. including cyclic alcs. as well as benzylic alcs. The selective synthesis of bisindolylmethane derivatives II [R4 = H, Me, Ph, etc.] was also achieved from the same set of indole and alc. just by altering the reaction parameters. Furthermore, the sustainable synthesis of C-3 alkylated indoles directly from 2-(2-nitrophenyl)ethan-1-ol and alcs. catalyzed by a Ru-complex via ‘borrowing hydrogen’ strategy was reported. This protocol provided an atom-economical sustainable route to access structurally important compounds like arundine, vibrindole A and tryptamine based derivatives The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of 1H-Indole(cas: 120-72-9Safety of 1H-Indole)
1H-Indole(cas: 120-72-9) belongs to indole. Indole, also called Benzopyrrole, a heterocyclic organic compound occurring in some flower oils, such as jasmine and orange blossom, in coal tar, and in fecal matter. It is used in perfumery and in making tryptophan, an essential amino acid, and indoleacetic acid (heteroauxin), a hormone that promotes the development of roots in plant cuttings.Safety of 1H-Indole
