Abstract
Ready accessible 2-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxyindole-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester undergoes palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions with different partners giving rise to 2-aryl, heteroaryl, vinyl, allyl, and alkynyl indoles in good to excellent yields.
Key words
indoles - palladium-catalyzed - boronic acids/esters - alkynes - heteroarylzinc chlorides

13 We synthesized the trifluoromethanesulfonic acid 1-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-1H -indol-2-yl ester 3 from 1,3-dihydroindol-2-one(5 ) in 70% yield following the procedure described by Gribble.7 However, 3 is stable only at low temperatures and after reaction with phenylacetylene or with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol under Sonogashira conditions at 60 °C, the corresponding coupled products were isolated in poor yields (31% and 32%, respectively).
