Abstract:
An efficient thiocyanation of indoles by grinding with ammonium thiocyanate and hypervalent iodine reagents under solvent-free conditions has been developed. The reaction proceeded rapidly to provide the target 3-thiocyanatoindoles in 75–86% yields.
This project was financially supported by the ‘333’ High-level Talent Project of Jiangsu Province, and Academic Leader Research Fund of Changzhou Vocational Institute of Engineering
