Invention:
This innovation is the synthesis of a Carbon-based indole that can be used in the creation of anti-cancer drugs. Indoles are reagents that can also be used in oncological and renal disease treatment. The new method provides a simple protocol that creates differentiated indoles that have a broad functional tolerance. This uses a more cost-effective agent and removes the need for an external light-absorbing catalyst. Specifically, these novel deuterated indoles have versatile structures and can be applied to various types of research.
Background:
There is a lack of cost-effective methods to create deuterated chemicals. These drugs have replaced hydrogen with one of its stable isotopes, deuterium. Deuterated drugs require indoles as their core structure and tend to have a longer half-life.
Applications:
- Anti-cancer drug formulation
- Renal disease treatment
- Research tool
Advantages:
- Organic synthesis
- Metal-free
- Simple
- Synthetically versatile
- Cost-effective
- Broad functional tolerance
