Unlocking a self-catalytic cycle in a copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling/cyclization reaction

Summary: Presented here is a copper-catalyzed, aerobic oxidative C-H/C-H cyclization reaction, which occurs by cleaving the C-H and N-H bonds of 3-phenylindoles. A broad range of 3-phenylindoles can be well tolerated to produce the indole-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in good to...
