Graphene oxide-catalysed carbene-transfer reaction in water: a highly “green” and selective approach to access 3,3′,3′′-trisindoles
Priya Kamboj, Vikas Tyagi
Abstract
A highly “green” and efficient method to furnish biologically important 3,3′,3′′-trisindoles via a graphene oxide-catalysed carbene-transfer reaction of 3-diazo oxindole as a carbene precursor with indoles is described.
