Abstract

AbstractReaction of 7‐azaindole (azinH) and 1,2,4,5‐tetramethylbenzene (durene) in the presence of erbium metal and mercury at 170 °C under vacuum induced an unusual CC bond formation between a methyl group of durene and C3 of two azinH molecules yielding bis(1H‐7‐azaindol‐3‐yl)(2,4,5‐trimethylphenyl)methane {2: IUPAC name 3‐[1H‐pyrrolo[2,3‐b]pyridin‐3‐yl(2,4,5‐trimethylphenyl)methyl]‐1H‐pyrrolo[2,3‐b]pyridine}. The structure of 2 was established by X‐ray crystallography and supported by IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy.
