Abstract
An organocatalyzed Fischer indolization is established by combining 2,2′-biphenol (10 mol%) and B(OH)3 (30 mol%) as weak, readily available, and easy-to-handle acids. The inclusion of MgSO4, which efficiently scavenges NH3 (a possible acid catalyst poison), appears to be key to the success of this process. The corresponding indoles are obtained in yields of up to 91% using this method.y
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
