Divergent synthesis of polythioindoles using elemental sulfur as the polysulfur source under metal-free conditions
Penghui Ni, Jing Tan, Yuxing Tan, Wujiu Jiang, Guo-Jun DengA novel protocol for the divergent synthesis of polythioindoles through a HI-catalyzed polysulfidation/annulation reaction between indoles and elemental sulfur has been described.
