Jin, Jiang published the artcileSelectfluor facilitated bridging of indoles to bis(indolyl)methanes using methyl tert-butyl ether as a new methylene precursor, Formula: C16H15NO, the main research area is indole MTBE Selectfluor promoter oxidative methylenation green chem; bisindolyl methane preparation; dicarbonyl compound MTBE Selectfluor promoter oxidative methylenation green chem; methylene bis dicarbonyl compound preparation.
A novel, green and efficient method was developed for the synthesis of methylene bridged bis(indolyl)methanes in good to excellent yields. The reaction employed Me tert-Bu ether (MTBE) as the methylene source and Selectfluor as an oxidizing agent. The scope and versatility of the methods was successfully demonstrated with 48 examples. The metal-free transformation process was suitable for scale-up production A Selectfluor-promoted oxidative reaction mechanism was proposed based on the results of the exptl. studies.
