“…According to the general procedure, 7-azaindole (70.9 mg, 0.6 mmol), bis(4-methoxyphenyl) disulfide 3c (1.7 mg, 6 μmol), and DIH (171.0 mg, 0.45 mmol) were reacted in acetonitrile (2 mL) for 1 h to afford 2s (138.6 mg, 95% yield), which was purified by flash column chromatography (hexane/AcOEt = 3:1) as a pale yellow solid: 1 H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ = 8.34 (d, J = 4.9 Hz, 1H), 7.77 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (s, 1H), 7.18 (dd, J = 8.1, 4.9 Hz, 1H). The NMR spectrum was identical to that previously reported …”
