One-Pot Synthesis of Symmetric and Unsymmetric 1,1-Bis-indolylmethanes via Tandem Iron-Catalyzed C—H Bond Oxidation and C-O Bond Cleavage

摘要

The reactions of indoles with ethers give a variety ofsymmetric and unsymmetric 1,1-bis-indolylmethane de-rivatives via iron-catalyzed C—H bond oxidation and C-O bond cleavage.
