has been achieved using tertiaryamines as both methylene (-CH2-) transfer and arylmethylation agents and K2S2O8 as a convenient oxidant. The key feature of this protocol is the utilisation of K2S2O8 as an inexpensive and easy to handle radical surrogate that can effectively promote the reaction, leading to the formation of C(sp2)–C(sp3)–C(sp2) bonds via sp3 C–H bond oxidation in water at room temperature
Metal and acid-free visible light-induced Friedel-Crafts C3-alkylation reactions of indolederivatives were developed using N,N-dimethylanilines as the carbon source. A cheap and readily available organic dye, Rose Bengal, was applied as the photocatalyst. This environmentally friendly transformation afforded C3-alkylated indoles in moderate to good yields under mild conditions.

A novel multi-component reaction of indoles, formaldehydes, and tertiary aromatic amines is described for the synthesis of dialkylaminoarylated indoles using silica-supported perchloric acid (HClO4–SiO2) as an inexpensive and highly efficient catalyst. The key features of this multi-component reactions are operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, regioselectivity, and recycling of catalyst
A greener approach for the synthesis of 3-arylmethyl/diarylmethyl indoles has been achieved via a PMA-SiO2-mediated three-component reaction (the aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction) involving indoles, aldehydes, and N,N-disubstituted anilines in PEG-400. A variety of indole derivatives were prepared by using this operationally simple and straightforward methodology in acceptable yields.
