Metal-free oxidative coupling of arylmethylamines with indoles: a simple, environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of 3,3′-bis(indolyl)methanes
The efficient metal-free oxidative coupling of arylmethylamines with indoles has been developed using molecular oxygen as a green oxidant towards a novel rout of 3,3′-bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs) synthesis.
