Published: February 2024

We present a straightforward one-step process to access a range of novel -diindolepyrazines via an unprecedented [-BuN][Fe(CO)(NO)] (TBA[Fe])-catalyzed intermolecular nitrogenative dimerization of various indole derivatives. Remarkably, tosylazide functions as a N1-synthon forming the central pyrazine unit that joins the two indole subunits. The catalytic transformation shows a good substrate scope, and the obtained products show interesting electronic properties.
