Modulating confinement space in metal–organic frameworks enables highly selective indole C3-formylation

Abstract

Here, Selective C3-formylation of indole was achieved under mild conditions using a metal–organic framework (MOF) catalyst. The confined reaction space within the MOF pores effectively suppressed undesired side reactions and promoted the formation of the targeted product by controlling the reaction pathway. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations corroborated the experimental observations.
