Abstract

A novel palladium-catalyzed domino reaction of 2-methylindoles with 2-iodobenzyl bromide in the system Pd(OAc)2/Xantphos/t-BuOK/PhMe leading to indole-fused tricyclo[7,3,1,02,7]trideca-2(7),3,5-triene ring system is presented. Pd-catalyzed reaction of 2-methylindole with 5-bromo-6-bromomethylbenzo[1,3]dioxole afforded 3,3-bis(6-bromobenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethyl)-2-methyl-3H-indole.
