Abstract

A new and efficient method for the synthesis of C-3 dicarbonyl indoles via oxidative cross-coupling of styrenes with indoles under metal-free conditions has been developed. Moreover, a broad scope of C-3 dicarbonyl indoles in moderate to good yields were obtained, and a plausible mechanism is proposed based on control and isotope-labeling experiments.
