Abstract

A practical and scalable approach for the synthesis of 3-substituted indoles is delineated via hydride nucleophilic addition to 3-substituted-2-oxindoles. The reaction proceeds through reductive aromatization involving indolinium ion intermediate. A wide range of 3-functionalized indoles have been synthesized. The method is employed for the synthesis of 3,3ʹ-bis-indoles and a dimeric 3-indole derivative. Moreover, this protocol is used to obtain naturally occuring amino acid tryptamine.
