This invention discloses a method for synthesizing trifluoromethylated polycyclic indole derivatives using visible light
photocatalysis, belonging to the field of
organic synthesis technology. This invention is the first to disclose a method for synthesizing trifluoromethylated polycyclic indole derivatives under visible light
photocatalysis via CF3Br and... N This invention relates to a method for the one-step preparation of trifluoromethylated polycyclic indole derivatives, namely 2,3-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]indole and 5,6-dihydroindole[2,1-a]
isoquinoline derivatives, through a free
radical cyclization reaction of alkenyl indole derivatives. This invention is the first to use CF3Br as a trifluoromethylating agent, via CF3Br reacting with... N The
radical cyclization reaction of α-alkenyl indole derivatives successfully constructed trifluoromethylated 2,3-dihydropyrrole[1,2-a]indole and 5,6-dihydroindole[2,1-a]
isoquinoline derivatives. Compared with other trifluoromethylating reagents used in the prior art, CF3Br has the advantages of low cost, easy availability and high atom utilization. Compared with the existing synthetic methods, the method provided by this invention greatly reduces the synthesis cost and has a high possibility of large-scale production.
