base-catalyzed reaction of two different indoles with aldehydes under heating to produce unsymmetrical bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs), in which one of the indole ring must be N-substituted. Mixture of EtOH-H2O is used as solvent. The reaction did not give symmetrical BIMs of N-substituted indoles or N–H indoles. However, traces of latter were formed in few cases, especially when electron-rich aldehydes were used
Jnsymmetrical arylbis(3-indolyl)methanes have been synthesized via a Bronsted acid catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of α-(3-indolyl)benzylamines with N-methylindole. With 5 mol% of the catalyst, the reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions, affording the unsymmetrical triarylmethanes in excellent yields (up to 98%).

obtained from a three-component reaction of indole, aldehyde, and N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid, undergo an elimination-addition reaction with another indole molecule or heterocyclic nucleophile giving unsymmetrical diindolylmethanes or heterocyclic(indolyl)alkanes in the absence of a catalyst.
