Abstract

Abstract : We disclose a novel, heterogeneous catalytic approach for selective coupling of C1 of N -aryltetrahydroisoquinolines with C3 of indoles in the presence of mesoporous manganese oxides. Abstract : We disclose a novel, heterogeneous catalytic approach for selective coupling of C1 of N -aryltetrahydroisoquinolines with C3 of indoles in the presence of mesoporous manganese oxides. Our work involves a detailed mechanistic investigation of the reaction on the catalyst surface, backed by DFT computational studies, to understand the superior catalytic activity of manganese oxides.
