Indole, and structures derived from it, are a component of many natural substances, such as the amino acid tryptophan. A new catalytic reaction produces cyclopenta[b]indoles -- frameworks made of ...
A cost-effective copper-catalyzed reaction enables selective modification at the C5 position of the indole ring, a backbone for pharmaceutical compounds Indole, a molecule made up of a six-membered ...
A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has successfully developed an ultrafast and simple synthetic method for producing indole derivatives. Their findings are expected to make drug production ...
