Abstract

Abstract A facile, general and rapid protocol for the introduction of oxygenated aryls at the 3- position of indoles is described. This approach consists of a tandem dearomatization, a regioselective Michael addition reaction, and rearomatization in a one-pot three-step sequence to obtain 3-arylindoles in good yields.
