Convenient Indole Synthesis from 2-Iodoanilines and Terminal Alkynes by the Sequential Sonogashira Reaction and the Cyclization Reaction Promoted by Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride (TBAF)
The sequential Sonogashira reaction and the cyclization reaction of various 2-iodoanilines and terminal alkynes in the presence of a palladium catalyst and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) gave the corresponding 2-substituted indoles in good yields.

Coupling of o-iodoanilines with terminal alkynes under standard Sonogashira conditions, and further treatment with NaOH under conventional heating or microwave irradiation, afford 2-substituted indoles in usually high yields. Functionalities such as halides, nitro, and cyano groups are tolerated under the reaction conditions.
