Abstract
[reaction: see text] The Stille coupling of N-acyl-2-iodoanilines with the 1-(tributylstannyl)-1-substituted allenes affected the successive one-step formation of the 2-methyl-3-substituted indoles. Alternatively, the other type of 2-alkyl-3-substituted indoles could be synthesized in a one-pot operation, which consists of the Stille coupling reaction with the 1-(tributylstannyl)-1,3-disubstituted allenes, followed by TBAF treatment. This procedure could be applied to the synthesis of indomethacin.
