Synthesis of 1,3-dibromo-2-aryl-1H-indenes via NBS mediated unusual bromination of 2-alkynylbenzaldoximes†
Abstract
We have investigated a very interesting side-pathway leading to 1,3-dibromo-2-aryl-1H-indenes as opposed to isoquinoline N-oxides during the NBS mediated synthesis of isoquinoline N-oxide from 2-alkynylbenzaldoximes.
