A modified version of the Bischler indole synthesis has been developed in which the key step is the NâH insertion reaction of rhodium carbene intermediates derived from α-diazo-β-ketoesters with anilines. Thus N-methylanilines 1 react with diazoketoesters 2 in the presence of dirhodium(II) acetate to give (N-arylamino)ketones 3, cyclisation of which using boron trifluorideâethyl acetate or acidic ion exchange resin gives the indoles 4. In order to extend this method to the synthesis of N-unsubstituted indoles, a new protecting group strategy for indoles was developed. In this, anilines are reacted with α,β-unsaturated-esters or -sulfones to give the conjugate addition products 6 and 9,
cyclisation of which gives indoles 8 and 11. The N-(2-ethoxycarbonylethyl)- and -(2-sulfonylethyl)- protecting groups are readily removed from indoles 8 and 11 by treatment with base.

N-substituted anilines 1 react readily with phenyliodonium ylides 2 derived from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of a catalytic amount of BF3·Et2O, forming the C–N coupling products 3, which are precursors for the synthesis of indoles. On the basis of this result, the direct synthesis of indoles from 1 and 2 under thermal conditions and photochemical conditions was explored. The transformations could

Transition-metalcarbene X–H insertion reactions (X=N or O) have been employed in the simple conversion of anilines and phenols into indoles and benzofurans, respectively. Thus copper(II) catalyzed N–H insertion reactions of α-diazo-β-ketoesters with N-methylanilines followed by treatment with acidic ion-exchange resin gives indoles. In a similar manner, dirhodium(II) catalyzed O–H insertion reactions
