Ru-Catalyzed Oxidation and C-C Bond Formation of Indoles for the Synthesis of 2-Indolyl Indolin-3-ones Under Mild Reaction Conditions

Herein, we described a ruthenium catalyzed oxidation and C-C bond formation reaction of 2-alkyl or 2-aryl substituted indoles using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant. Coupled with cascade ...
