Rates of reductive elimination of substituted nitrophenols from the (indol-3-yl)methyl position of indolequinones

A series of indolequinones bearing substituted nitrophenols on the (indol-3-yl)methyl position was synthesised. The nitrophenol leaving groups were appropriately substituted to give a wide range (4 units) in phenolic pKa value. The rate of reductive elimination of phenoxide anions from the (indol-3-...
