A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has successfully developed an ultrafast and simple synthetic method for producing indole derivatives. Their findings are expected to make drug production ...

Indole, and structures derived from it, are a component of many natural substances, such as the amino acid tryptophan. A new catalytic reaction produces cyclopenta[b]indoles -- frameworks made of ...

THE recently suggested theory of Pausacker and Schubert 1 involving free radicals in the Fischer indole synthesis appeared to us improbable. It seemed more likely that these experimental results could ...

The proposed method is simple, mild, fast, and produces high yields, with the potential to inspire the development of new drugs and agrochemicals. Indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidine is a common structural ...

A cost-effective copper-catalyzed reaction enables selective modification at the C5 position of the indole ring, a backbone for pharmaceutical compounds. Indoles, which form the backbone of many ...
