Abstract
AbstractA synthesis of 3-alkyl-2-arylindoles was performed by sequential oxidation and reduction of 2-(2-nitrophenyl)ethanols that were prepared by base-catalyzed three-component reactions of vinylarenes, aldehydes, and various pronucleophiles, including nitroalkanes, thiols, and malonates. In addition to indoles, a selective synthesis of an N-hydroxyindole was accomplished. The highly nucleophilic character of transient benzylic anions in DMSO was also clarified for the three-component reactions.
