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.

base metal-catalyzed regioselective dehydrogenative alkylation of indolines using readily available alcohols as the alkylating reagent is reported. A single air- and moisture-stable manganese catalyst provides access to either C3- or N-alkylated indoles depending on the solvent used. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction takes place through a combined acceptorless dehydrogenation and hydrogen
iron carbonyl complexes have been applied in alkylation of indoles with various benzylic alcohols, aliphatic alcohols (butanol, ethanol, methanol and 2‐methylpentanol) via the hydrogen autotransfer strategy in mild reaction conditions. Experimental works highlight the role of the bifunctional iron complexes and the base. These iron complexes demonstrated a broad applicability in mildconditions and

uncatalyzed Friedel― Crafts alkylation of indoles using microwave irradiation in water is described. A series of functionalized indole derivatives has been synthesized in very short times with moderate to good yields. The combination of microwave irradiation and superheated water offers significant advantages over conventional methods, such as higher selectivities, simplicity, shorter reaction times, and
