A novel and efficient method for the Au(III)/TPPMS-catalyzed direct substitution reaction of benzhydryl and benzylic alcohols with indoles in water is developed. Au(III)/TPPMS is an effective catalyst for the benzylation of the strong π nucleophile 1-methylindole, while common Brønsted or Lewis acids are ineffective.
发展了一种新颖高效的 Au(III)/TPPMS 催化水中苯甲醇和苄醇与吲哚的直接取代反应的方法。Au(III)/TPPMS 是强碱亲核试剂 1-甲基吲哚的有效苄基化试剂,而常见的布朗斯特酸或路易斯酸则无效。
