Abstract

Abstract The mixture of sodium borohydride and N, N, N′, N′-tetramethylethylenediamine in combination with a palladium catalyst is a mild and efficient system for the regioselective hydrodebromination of polybrominated indoles with both N-donating and N-withdrawing substituents [N-methyl-and N-(methoxycarbonyl) indoles, respectively].
