Regioselective Reaction of 2-Indolylmethanols with Enamides

A highly regioselective reaction of 2-indolylmethanols with enamides has been developed at room temperature by using AlCl<sub>3</sub> as a catalyst. A wide range of hybrids (40 examples) of indoles and enamides were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 98% yield). This transformati...

description A highly regioselective reaction of 2-indolylmethanols with enamides has been developed at room temperature by using AlCl<sub>3</sub> as a catalyst. A wide range of hybrids (40 examples) of indoles and enamides were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 98% yield). This transformation represents the efficient way to introduce biologically important indoles and enamides skeleton into structurally complex hybrids.
