And the article was included in European Journal of Organic Chemistry in 2019.COA of Formula: C9H7BrS This article mentions the following:
A new transition-metal-free robust and cost-effective method for synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted indoles from easily available unactivated (i.e. without EWG, PPh3 or SiR3 groups) tertiary amides. Scope of synthetic applicability of the presented protocol was shown on 23 examples of 1,2-disubstituted indoles with different substitution patterns obtained in good to excellent yields. The reported method turned out to be especially effective for synthesis of N-arylated 2-CF3-indoles. Moreover, this approach can be performed in a one-pot two-step manner directly from com. available secondary amines. Mechanistic studies showed that acyl transfer might be an important step in the course of the reaction. Viability of the presented approach for benzofurans and benzothiophenes synthesis was also discussed. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3-Bromo-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene (cas: 10243-15-9COA of Formula: C9H7BrS).
3-Bromo-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene (cas: 10243-15-9) belongs to benzothiophene derivatives. Benzothiophene is relatively a stable molecule. The core structure is a part of various pharmaceutical substances and natural products. It is found within the chemical structures of pharmaceutical drugs such as zileuton, raloxifene, and sertaconazole, and also BTCP.COA of Formula: C9H7BrS
