Abstract

By using 2-(fluorosulfonyl)difluoroacetic acid as sulfur ­reagent, bisindole sulfanes were highly efficient synthesized under transition-metal-free conditions. Results indicate that this proceeded not at the relatively acidic C-2 position but rather selectively at the nucleo­philic C-3 position to give the desired compounds with excellent regio­selectivities and good yields.
