Abstract:We disclosed the dual role of neutral [Hmim]Br towards the direct conversion of arylsulfonic anhydride into arylthiol surrogate for the controlled and regioselective synthesis of 3‐sulfenylindoles from indole derivatives at rt. In addition, 2‐bromo‐3‐sulfenylindoles were synthesized in the presence of catalytic water at 50 °C in a cascade manner i. e. sulfenylation and bromination through de‐oxygenative reduction with [Hmim]Br in the absence of any additional brominating agent. The present method was also util… Show more
