Solvent based selectivity in the synthesis of di(2-aryl-1H-3-indolyl) sulfides and 1-aryl-2-[(2-aryl-1H-3-indolyl)sulfanyl]-1-ethanones

Abstract

The commendable product selectivity exhibited by the solvents during the reaction of 2-[(2-oxo-2-arylethyl)sulfanyl]-1-aryl-1-ethanones with phenylhydrazine hydrochloride yielding exclusively 1-aryl-2-[(2-aryl-1H-3-indolyl)sulfanyl]-1-ethanones in THF and di(2-aryl-1H-3-indolyl) sulfides in ethanol is described.
