Triarylmethyl Cation Catalysis: A Tunable Lewis Acid Organo­catalyst for the Synthesis of Bisindolylmethanes

Abstract Triarylmethyl cations serve as tunable organocatalysts for the synthesis of bisindolylmethanes. The catalyst structure can be modified to increase or decrease reactivity as needed to match the requirements of the substrate. High yields are achieved for a variety of substrates by using these...
