Synthesis of 2-phenylindole N-derivatives under conditions of catalysis by palladium complexes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02251704

The synthesis of 2-phenylindole N-derivatives was accomplished. The synthesis inclined the catalytic coupling of o-iodoaniline with phenylacetylene leading to 2-aminotolan, the preparation of the derivative of the last at the nitrogen atom, and its catalytic cyclization to the corresponding indole. 1999 KluwerAcademic/Plenum.
