Abstract
Polyfunctionalized alkyl indole 2-carboxylates can be easily synthesized starting form β-nitroacrylates and o-bromoanilines through an addition–elimination process followed by an intramolecular palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction.

- 13 The 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) bound to polystyrene (3 mmol/g) was purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (01961-5G-F) and used directly without any manipulation.
- 14 Synthesis of Indoles 5; General Procedure: o-Bromoaniline 1 (0.5 mmol) and β-nitroacrylate 2 (0.5 mmol) were stirred at 70 °C for 24 h, then MeCN (3 mL) and TBD (1 mmol, 333 mg) were added and the resulting solution was stirred at r.t. for 5 h. Finally, after TBD filtration (washing with EtOAc) and solvent evaporation, the crude material 4 was dissolved in DMF (4 mL), treated with Pd2(dba)3 (32 mg, 0.034 mmol), P(o-Tol)3 (42 mg, 0.138 mmol), Et3N (0.96 mL, 6.9 mmol), and heated at 110 °C for 12 h. After cooling, the reaction was quenched with 2 M HCl (10 mL), extracted with Et2O (3 × 30 mL) and the organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4. After filtration and solvent evaporation at reduced pressure, the crude indole 5 was purified by flash chromatography (hexane–EtOAc).
