Synthesis of 1-aryl indoles via coupling reaction of indoles and aryl halides catalyzed by CuI/metformin

Chen, Hu | Lei, Min | Hu, Lihong
Ullmann-type C–N coupling reaction has been developed for the synthesis of 1-aryl indole derivatives by indoles and aryl halides in the presence of CuI/metformin (CuI/Met) in DMF. This method is very easy, rapid, and high yielding reaction for the synthesis of 1-aryl indoles. In particular, the metformin, which is used as ligand, is inexpensive and nontoxic that is considered to be relatively environmentally benign.
