Abstract

Abstract A straightforward two-step synthesis of trans-3, 4-disubstituted succinimides through a palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira reaction and an iron-catalyzed double carbonylation is described. In situ oxidative dehydrogenation gave the corresponding 3, 4- diarylmaleimides. By starting from readily available aryl and heteroaryl halides, a variety of new analogues and derivatives of bioactive 3, 4-bisindolylmaleimides are obtained in ...
