An efficient and clean approach for the oxidative amination of indole derivatives with phenothiazines is developed under copper‐catalyzed aerobic conditions. The reaction is carried out via the cross‐coupling of indole radical cation and phenothiazine radical in air. This approach offers a new perspective in the application of phenothiazine as a nitrogen group source for C−N bond formation reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
