Graphene oxide decorated with Cu(<scp>i</scp>)Br nanoparticles: a reusable catalyst for the synthesis of potent bis(indolyl)methane based anti HIV drugs

Abstract

A reusable nanocatalytic system comprising Cu(<sc>i</sc>)Br decorated on graphene oxide has been prepared, and successfully applied for an efficient synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes. The synthesized compound <bold>3d</bold> shows significant anti-HIV-1 activity.
