Optimisation, scope and mechanism of the platinum-catalysed addition of indoles to indolylallenes is reported here to give 2,3′-BIMs with a novel core structure very relevant for pharmaceutical industry. The reaction is modulated by the electronic properties of the substituents on both indoles, with the 2,3′-BIMs favoured when electron donating groups are present. Although simple at first, a complex mechanism has been uncovered that explains the different behaviour of these systems with platinum when compared with other metals (e.g. gold). Detailed labelling studies have shown Pt-catalysed 6-endo-trig cyclisation of the indollylallene as the first step of the reaction and the involvement of two cyclic vinyl-platinum intermediates in equilibrium through a platinum carbene, as the key intermediates of the catalytic cycle towards the second nucleophilic attack and formation of the BIMs.

Indole is prevalent in bioactive compounds and natural products. The development of efficient and sustainable methods to access this privileged structural scaffold has been a long-standing interest of synthetic chemists. Herein, we report an electrocataly

A practical and scalable approach for the synthesis of 3-substituted indoles is delineated via hydride nucleophilic addition to 3-substituted-2-oxindoles. The reaction proceeds through reductive aromatization involving indolinium ion intermediate. A wide range of 3-functionalized indoles have been synthesized. The method is employed for the synthesis of 3,3?-bis-indoles and a dimeric 3-indole derivative. Moreover, this protocol is used to obtain naturally occuring amino acid tryptamine.
