A Mn(iii)-catalyzed arylboronic acid-based cascade reaction via a nonclassical organometallic-radical mechanism

Abstract

An efficient cascade reaction of arylboronic acids, o-cyanoaryl isocyanides, and indoles catalyzed by manganese(III) acetylacetonate which enables the construction of a series of 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-phenylindolin-3-imines was developed. The transformation features high...
