A short and flexible synthesis of substituted indoles employing two palladium-catalyzed reactions, a Barluenga cross-coupling of p-tosylhydrazones with 2-nitroarylhalides followed by a palladium–catalyzed, carbon monoxide–mediated reductive cyclization has been developed. A one-pot, two-step methodology was further developed, eliminating isolation and purification of the cross-coupling product. This was accomplished by utilizing the initially added 0.025 equivalents of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium dichloride, thus serving a dual role in the cross-coupling and the reductive cyclization. It was found that addition of 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane and carbon monoxide after completion of the Barluenga reaction afforded, in most cases, significantly better overall yields.
