Abstract

An unprecedented one‐pot synthesis of 3‐(fluoroalkenyl)indoles was developed. This process involves a catalyst‐free Michael addition of β‐fluoro‐β‐nitrostyrenes to indoles in neat followed by elimination of HNO2 using DBU as a base. The effectiveness of this approach was demonstrated through the preparation of variety of target products in up to 75 % isolated yield.
