Abstract

A practical and novel approach for the regioselective synthesis of 3-arylthioindole derivatives has been accomplished using a combination of indole substrates with p-toluene sulfonyl hydrazide. This methodology employs NIS as the oxidant and PPh3 as the reductant to give the desired 3-arylthioindoles in good to excellent yields. This method offers several advantages, including simplicity, operational ease, and broad substrate scope.

Keywords: Indole, sulfonyl hydrazide, indole thioether, thiolation, regioselective, 3-arylthioindoles.
