Application

6-Bromoindole may be used to synthesize:
  • 6-alkylthioindole
  • 3-acetoxy-6-bromoindole
  • 6,6′-dibromoindigo (Tyrian purple)
  • 6-acylindoles
  • tert-butyl 6-bromoindole-1-carboxylate
Essential starter in 6-substituted indole chemistry.

General description

6-Bromoindole is an indole derivative. It undergoes palladium-catalyzed reaction with 2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethylpiperazine to afford the carbonylation products.

The first total synthesis of racemic perophoramidine is described. The key step features the highly stereoselective introduction of the vicinial quaternary centers via base-promoted carbon-carbon bond formation between a 3-alkylindole and a 3-bromo-3-alkylindolin-2-one. This transformation presumably proceeds through a conjugate
