conjugate addition of indoles to 2,5-dichlorobenzoquinone have been developed. A wide variety of indoles substituted with halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, and aryl groups participate in anaerobic condensation reactions promoted by HCl, H2SO4, or CH3CO2H. The hydroquinone product is partially oxidized by excess dichlorobenzoquinone and fully converted to the 2,5-dichloro-3-(indol-3-yl)benzoquinone targets by
2-Substituted indoles and process for their preparation

Highly branched .alpha.-substituted indoles, e.g., 2-(1-methylcyclohexyl)-indole, are prepared by treating N-(.alpha.-branched carbonyl) toluidines with alkyl lithium. The reaction sequence may be illustrated as ##SPC1##
A copper-catalyzeddirect asymmetric coupling of C2 sterically-hindering-group-substituted indoles with quinone and naphthoquinone esters was developed by using the spirocyclic pyrrolidine oxazoline (SPDO) ligand, which was accomplished by metal catalysis for the first time. Diverse structures of axially chiral 3-arylindoles were obtained with good to high enantioselectivities in good to high yields
