Thank you very much for accepting my research. We will develop new organic reactions by "Electrochemical Organic Synthesis", which uses electricity as a driving force.
We investigated the anodic cyclotrimerization of indole. Bromide was used as a mediator to oxidize the indole moiety. First, a divided cell, which possesses a glass filter to divide the anodic and cathodic chambers, resulted dimerization to afford a dimer of indole. On the other hand, the use of undivided cell gave trimer of indole, and triazatruxene derivative was obtained.
