Abstract

A new Pd/C-mediated tandem reaction has been developed for the one pot synthesis of indoles containing an o-(RSO 2NH)C 6H 4 group at the C-2 position. The methodology provided novel indoles as inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv chorismate mutase in vitro representing the first example of chorismate mutase inhibition by a heteroarene based small molecule.
