Eco-friendly chemoselective N-functionalization of isatins mediated by supported KF in 2-MeTHF†
Abstract
A sustainable, efficient method for the chemoselective N-functionalization of isatins based on the use of KF-Celite in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran is reported. Notably, the protocol allows reactions with a wide range of electrophiles such as alkyl halides, isocyanates and Michael acceptors.
