Background:: The thiocyanation of indoles is a direct way for carbon sulfur bond formation to access 3- thiocyanato-indoles. 3-Thiocyanato-indoles exhibit potent biological and pharmacological activities and also serve as building blocks to synthesize many biologically active sulfur-containing indole derivatives. Objective:: The aim of this review is to highlight different approaches for the thiocyanation of indoles focusing on the scope and mechanism. Conclusion:: In this review, we have summarized various methods for the thiocyanation of indoles. Selected new methods for the preparation of 3-thiocyanato-indoles will be highlighted. The mechanistic aspects and significance of the methods are briefly discussed.

: Hypervalent iodine reagents are a class of non-metallic oxidants have been widely used in the construction of several sorts of bond formations. This surging interest in hypervalent iodine reagents is essentially due to their very useful oxidizing properties, combined with their benign environmental character and commercial availability from the past few decades ago. Furthermore, these hypervalent iodine reagents have been used in the construction of many significant building blocks and privileged scaffolds of bioactive natural products. The purpose of writing this review article is to explore all the transformations in which carbon-oxygen bond formation occurred by using hypervalent iodine reagents under metal-free conditions

Abstract A Cu(II)-catalyzed Csp2-Se and Csp2-Sulfur bond formation was achieved with moderate to good yields without the aid of Lewis acid and base. The reaction is compatible with a wide range of heterocycles such as benzothiazole, thiazole, and imidazole. Also, this typical protocol is found to be active in thio-selenation via S-H activation. Additionally, we proposed a plausible mechanistic pathway involving Cu(III) putative intermediate.
