摘要
A green tandem reaction,including insertion/aerobic oxidation/bisindolylation,starting from indoles and diazo compounds has been developed.The combination of water and fluorinated alcohol plays dual roles as solvent and promoter in this chemical transformation.Molecular oxygen in the air acts as an oxidant.3,3’-Bis(indolyl)methanes with quaternary carbon were produced under metal-free conditions.No any catalyst and additive were required.N2 and water were released as sole by-products.Absence of water and fluorinated alcohol resulted in Wolff rearrangement product.
