General description

1-Methylindole undergoes Au(III)/TPPMS-catalyzed benzylation reaction with benzhydryl and benzylic alcohols.

Application

1-Methylindole was used in the determination of association constant for the electron-donor-acceptor complexes of 1-methylindole with 1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) propan-2-one.

Anopheles sinensis is an important vector for the spread of malaria in China. Olfactory-related behaviours, particularly oviposition site seeking, offer opportunities for disrupting the disease-transmission process.

A novel and efficient method for the Au(III)/TPPMS-catalyzed direct substitution reaction of benzhydryl and benzylic alcohols with indoles in water is developed. Au(III)/TPPMS is an effective catalyst for the benzylation of the strong π nucleophile 1-methylindole, while common Brønsted or

We have recently developed palladium-catalyzed methods for direct arylation of indoles (and other azoles) wherein high C-2 selectivity was observed for both free (NH)-indole and (NR)-indole. To provide a rationale for the observed selectivity ("nonelectrophilic" regioselectivity), mechanistic studies were conducted
