Abstract

An efficient and convenient synthesis of a variety of decorated indoles using a three-component tandem metal-catalysed process is described. We propose here a new “synthetic kit” that allows for the “quick and click” assembly of indole rings using readily available, and inexpensive starting materials under environmentally friendly reaction conditions.
