Facile Synthesis of Novel Indeno[1,2‐b]indol‐10‐one Derivatives by the Oxidation with DDQ

Abstract

The synthesis of indeno[1,2‐b]indol‐10‐one analogues with a wide range of biological activities was described. They are also important intermediates of some selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs).

Keywords:
