A two step synthesis of 2-vinyl indoles is described.Reaction of the anions of 2-methylindole-3-carboxylates (1) and (5) with ketones and aldehydes leads directly to 2-vinylindole-3-carboxylic acids (3) and esters (7), respectively.Decarboxylation of the acids (3) yields the desired 2-vinylindoles (4).
