Abstract
The selective C-methylenation of N-unsubstituted indoles using CO2 as the C1 source to access diindolylmethane (DIM) and its derivatives is described. This reaction provides a novel method for four-electron reductive functionalization of CO2 with N-unsubstituted indoles via formation of C-CH2-C bonds, and a new access to molecular structures.
