Catalytic alkylation of substituted indoles with (phenothiazin-10-yl)propene-1-ones

详细

Alkylation of substituted indoles (carbazoles, tetrahydrocarbazoles, and gamma-carbolines) with (phenothiazinyl)propenones catalyzed by cesium fluoride has led to the formation of 1-(phenothiazin-10-yl)-3-(carbazol-9-yl)propane-1-ones, (1-phenothiazin-10-yl)-3-(tetrahydrocarbazol-9-yl)propane-1-ones, and 3-(tetrahydropyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)-1-(phenothiazin-10-yl)propane-1-ones, respectively.
