Aerobic Transition-Metal-Free Visible-Light Photoredox Indole C-3 Formylation Reaction was written by Li, Xiang;Gu, Xiangyong;Li, Yongjuan;Li, Pixu. And the article was included in ACS Catalysis in 2014.Application of 170489-16-4 This article mentions the following:
An aerobic visible-light-promoted indole C-3 formylation reaction catalyzed by Rose Bengal has been developed. This transition-metal-free process employs mol. oxygen as the terminal oxidant and uses TMEDA as the one-carbon source through C-N bond cleavage. The reaction is compatible with a variety of functional groups. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1,4-Dimethyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (cas: 170489-16-4Application of 170489-16-4).
1,4-Dimethyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (cas: 170489-16-4) belongs to indole derivatives. In addition to tryptophan, indigo, and indoleacetic acid, numerous compounds obtainable from plant or animal sources contain the indole molecular structure. Indole plays a fundamental role for QS in E. coli, being one of the signal molecules responsible for the transcription of a variety of genes (gabT, and tnaB ASTD). Application of 170489-16-4
