developed to achieve Pd-catalyzed homocoupling of indoles with excellent regioselectivity in the presence of Cu(OAc)2·H2O in DMSO at room temperature in high efficiency. This method provides a simple route to 2,3′-biindolyls from the electron-rich to moderately electron-poor indoles. The reaction tolerates the bromide substituent on indoles. In addition, a one-pot approach to C3-position acetoxylated biindolyls
A mild, metal-free, and environmently benign iodine-promoted regioselective C-C and C-N bonds formation of N-protected indole derivatives giving 2,3'-biindoles 2 and 4-(1H-indol-2-yl)morpholines 4 is successfully demonstrated. Various bioactive 2,3'-biindoles and 4-(1H-indol-2-yl)morpholines, bearing electron-rich to moderately electron-poor substituents, can be prepared in moderate to good yields.
