A novel NH4OAc and CuBr(PPh3)3-induced intermolecular Pummerer-type reaction between free (NH)-indoles and dimethylsulfoxide: facile synthesis of 3-methylthiomethyl substituted indoles

A novel NH4OAc/CuBr(PPh3)3-induced intermolecular Pummerer-type reaction between free (NH)-indoles and dimethylsulfoxide is first reported, which offers the 3-methylthiomethyl substituted indoles conveniently and efficiently.
