Environmentally benign indole-catalyzed position-selective halogenation of thioarenes and other aromatics

Halogenated aromatic compounds are the cores of many pharmaceutical, agricultural and chemical products but they are commonly prepared using electrophilic halogenation reactions in non-green chlorinated solvents under harsh conditions. A separate problem happens in the aromatic halogenation of thioarenes because they readily undergo oxidative side-reactions. Herein we report an environmentally benign electrophilic bromination of aromatics using an indole-catalytic protocol, which is suitable for a wide range of substrates including thioarenes.
