A molecular iodine mediated oxidative cross-coupling of β-keto ester sp 3 C–H with 1 H -indole sp 2 C–H was developed for the synthesis of indolo[2,3- b ]carbazoles. A self-sequenced iodination/Kornblum oxidation/hydrolyzation/decarboxylative/deacylation/aromatization mechanism has been proposed as a possible reaction sequence to account for the results observed in this study.

An efficient iodine-mediated multipathway coupled domino reaction has been developed for the synthesis of thiobenzamides from benzylamines, benzylamines/aldehydes, and N -alkyl benzylamines under the same reaction conditions. This approach combines two consecutive domino processes in one pot using iodine as the oxidant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: A novel method for constructing trisubstituted imidazoles has been created using simple and readily available aromatic ketones, benzoins, and ammonium acetate as starting materials. The new synthetic strategy utilized a convergent integration of two self-labor domino sequences, providing a typical example for logical self-organization synthesis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
