2,3-Disubstituted indoles bearing 2-hydroxyphenyl moieties at their C3 positions were synthesized from readily available 2-chlorophenols and alkynylanilines via aminopalladation/reductive elimination using Pd–dihydroxyterphenylphosphine catalyst. The catalyst accelerates the introduction of the 2-hydroxyphenyl group at the C3 position of the indole.
