A facile method for the general synthesis of 2-arylmethylindoles has been developed through the reaction of 2-(2-propynyl)aniline or 2-(2-propynyl)tosylanilide with aryl iodides in the presence of Pd(OAc)2, PPh3, and DBU. 2-(2-Propynyl)tosylanilide is found to be reactive also towards electron deficient alkenes in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and sodium iodide under an oxygen atmosphere, providing easy access to 2-vinylic indoles which possess exclusive E-stereochemistry in the side chain double bond. Operational simplicity, compatibility of the various functional groups, and ease of product formation are the hallmarks of these methods. A mechanism has been proposed to explain the product formation.
