A facile method for the one-pot synthesis of 1,2-diarylindoles under transition-metal-free conditions is described. Cyclohexanones were used as the aryl sources via the dehydrogenative aromatization process. One C-C and two C-N bonds were selectively formed via a domino reaction. This protocol provides a convenient approach for the construction of valuable bioactive 1,2-diarylindoles from readily available cyclohexanones, α-hydroxyketones and anilines.

Regioselectively substituted indoles are prepared by a Pd-catalyzed C-C/C-N bond-forming sequence from imines and o-dihaloarenes or o-haloarene sulfonates. The heterogeneous reaction as a suspension in water and under microwave heating offers important advantages in comparison with the conventional reaction in an organic solvent, among them, operational simplicity, the employment of KOH solutions instead of alkoxides, and a dramatic reduction of reaction times.

A detailed study of the scope of a new Pd-catalyzed synthesis of indolesfrom 1,2-dihaloarenes and o-halobenzene sulfonates and imines is descri bed. The cascade reaction comprises an imine a-arylation ollowed by an intramolecular C-N bond-forming reaction promoted by the same Pd catalyst. The reaction with 1,2-dibromobenzene shows wide scope and allows the introduction of aryl, alkyl, and vinyl substituents at different positions of the five-membered ring of the indole. The regioselective synthesis of indoles substituted in the six-membered ring can be carried out by employing o-dihalobenzene derivatives with two different halogens, taking advantage of the different reactivities of I, Br, and Cl in oxidative addition reactions. This paper also introduces a method for the efficient cleavage of the N-t-butyl group, thus allowing for the preparation of N-H indoles through the same methodology. Finally, the reaction with o-halosulfonates has been studied. The best substrates are o-chlorononaflates, which lead to indoles in very high yield. The reaction is particularlyappropriate for the synthesis of the challenging 6-substituted indoles. In view of the availability of o-chlorophenols, which are direct precur sors of the chlorononaflates, this reaction represents an efficient entry into indoles substituted in the six-membered ring. The concept is illustrated by the preparation of a 4,6-disubstituted indole from naturally occurring anethole.
