One-pot C–C, C–N, and C–S bond construction for synthesis of 3-sulfenylindoles directly from unactivated anilines involving dual palladium catalysis and mechanistic insights from DFT

An efficient dual Pd-catalytic system was developed for one-pot synthesis of 3-sulfenylindoles via C–C, C–N and C–S bond construction directly from unactivated 2-iodo( NH )anilines under mild reaction conditions.
