Abstract
A Lewis acid catalyzed double hydro(hetero)arylation of alkyl‐substituted pentafulvenes for the synthesis of bisindole‐substituted cyclopentenoids has been developed. The scope of the reaction was explored with a wide range of indoles and pentafulvenes, and mechanistic insights were obtained. In addition, we have also demonstrated a hydro(hetero)arylation–dehydroxylation reaction of 2‐hydroxy‐substituted pentafulvenes to afford bisindole derivatives with isoprenyl‐substituted cyclopentene moieties.
