In 2019,Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis included an article by Pillaiyar, Thanigaimalai; Uzair, Muhammad; Ullah, Saif; Schnakenburg, Gregor; Mueller, Christa E.. Application In Synthesis of 5-Fluoro-1H-indole. The article was titled 《Decarboxylative Coupling Reaction of 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetic Acids with Indole, Azaindole, Benzimidazole and Indazole Derivatives》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A new, mild and efficient copper(II)-promoted decarboxylative coupling reaction of 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid derivatives I (R = H, 4-Cl, 5-OCH3, 6-F, 5-Cl, 6-Cl; R1 = H, CH3) with a variety of (substituted) indoles II (R2 = H, Ph, CO2Et; R3 = H, CH3; R4 = H, Me, F, Br, MeO, CHO; R5 = H, MeO, CHO, F; R6 = H, Cl, Br, MeO, Et, CN; R7 = H, Br; R6R7 = CH=CH-CH=CH) yielding (un)sym. substituted 3,3′-diindolylmethanes (DIMs) III have been reported. Reaction of 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid I (R = R1 = H) with 7-azaindole led to 3-((1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine, while 4-, 5-, and 6-azaindoles and benzimidazole reacted at the N1-nitrogen atom. Reaction of I (R = R1 = H) with 1H-indazole led to a mixture of 1-((1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-1H-indazole and 2-((1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-2H-indazole. The new method allows large-scale synthesis of biol. active DIMs. After reading the article, we found that the author used 5-Fluoro-1H-indole(cas: 399-52-0Application In Synthesis of 5-Fluoro-1H-indole)
5-Fluoro-1H-indole(cas: 399-52-0) is a member of aromaticfluorinated building blocks. Fluorine-containing aromatics have been incorporated into crop-protection chemicals (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides). Liquid crystals, positron emission tomography, and imaging systems represent new areas where fluoroaromatics and fluoroheterocyclics have gained attention.Application In Synthesis of 5-Fluoro-1H-indole
