A procedure that converts a series of structurally diverse, readily available indole derivatives to their corresponding indolequinones is described. The three-step route commences with an iridium catalyzed C-H borylation to give a 7-borylindole that upon oxidation-hydrolysis affords the 7-hydroxyindole. Subsequent oxidation provides the indolequinone.
描述了一种将一系列结构多样、易于获得的吲哚衍生物转化为其相应吲哚醌的方法。该三步路线始于铱催化的C-H硼化反应，生成7-硼基吲哚，经氧化水解得到7-羟基吲哚。随后的氧化反应生成吲哚醌。
