Abstract

A new method for the synthesis of 2,3-dialkylindoles is described. The silyltelluride-mediated coupling reaction of imines and 2-alkenylphenylisocyanides selectively occurred at the isocyanide moiety to give the corresponding imidoyltelluride. Tin hydride-mediated intramolecular cyclization of the imidoyltelluride affords 2,3-dialkylindoles in good to excellent combined yields.
