Abstract

Abstract The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 2-bromonitrobenzenes or 2- bromoacetanilides with ethylene has been used to produce a variety of substituted indoles. The mild reaction conditions and selectivity inherent in the coupling reaction have been utilized to produce regiochemically pure 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-substituted indoles.
