A variety of 1-substituted 2-diphenylphosphinoyl-3-hydroxy-1H-indoles 5a-d and 2-dimethoxyphosphoryl-3-hydroxy-1H-indoles 6a,c have been efficiently prepared by base-induced intramolecular cyclization of the appropriate Horner-Wittig and Wadsworth-Emmons reagents, 2-[(diphenylphosphinoyl)methylamino]-N,N-diethylbenzamides 3a-d and 2-[(dimethoxyphosphoryl)methylamino]-N,N-diethylbenzamides 4a,c, respectively.
