Two independent methods generating 7-azaindoxyl as an intermediate verify that 7,7'-diazaindirubin is formed exclusively over 7,7'-diazaindigo. This contrasts with long-standing knowledge related to the reactivity of indoxyl, which proceeds a radical-initiated homodimerization process, leading to indigo. A series of experiments confirms 7-azaindoxyl as an intermediate with results suggesting a condensation pathway followed by oxidation.
两种独立的方法生成7-氮杂吲哚酚作为中间体,证实7,7'-二氮杂靛玉红是唯一由7,7'-二氮杂靛蓝形成的产物。这与长期以来关于吲哚酚反应性的认知形成对比,后者通过自由基引发的同二聚化过程生成靛蓝。一系列实验证实7-氮杂吲哚酚是中间体,结果表明其反应途径是先缩合后氧化。
