Halogenated heteroarenes are key building blocks across numerous chemical industries. Here, we report that vanadium haloperoxidases are capable of producing 3-haloindoles through decarboxylative halogenation of 3-carboxyindoles. This biocatalytic method is applicable to decarboxylative chlorination, bromination, and iodination in moderate to high yields and with excellent chemoselectivity.
卤代杂芳烃是众多化学工业中的关键构建模块。在此,我们报道钒卤过氧化物酶能够通过3-羧基吲哚的脱羧卤化反应生成3-卤代吲哚。这种生物催化方法适用于脱羧氯化、溴化和碘化反应,产率适中至高,且具有出色的化学选择性。
