catalyst for C‐3 alkylation of 1H‐indoles with various aliphatic primary and secondary alcohols including cyclic alcohols as well as benzylic alcohols. The selective synthesis of bisindolylmethane derivatives is also achieved from the same set of indole and alcohol just by altering the reaction parameters. Furthermore, the sustainable synthesis of C‐3 alkylated indoles directly from 2‐(2‐nitrophenyl)ethan‐1‐ol
Pd/C and RuCl2(PPh3)3/DPEphos effectively catalyzed the alkylation of indole with alcohols to give 3‐substituted indoles selectively. Various types of substrates were examined and were found to give the corresponding 3‐substituted indoles in up to 99 % yield. Under different reaction conditions, RuCl2(PPh3)3/DPEphos catalyzed the selective formation of bis(3‐indolyl)phenylmethane derivatives.
By applying carbonyl compounds as sources of alkyl groups to the indium‐catalyzed reductive alkylation of indoles, a reliable and practical method capable of offering a wide range of alkylindoles with structural diversity has been developed. An important feature of this method is that the loading of the indium catalyst can be reduced by more than that of the original alkyne‐based system.

Under Indium catalysis, diverse alkylindoles were successfully prepared with a flexible combination of indoles and alkynes in the presence of hydrosilanes. In addition to the hydrosilane, carbon nucleophiles are also available. This new method generates alkylindoles in yields over 70% with a broad scope of functional group compatibility.
