Abstract

Functionalized organozinc reagents readily react with various aryldiazonium salts furnishing regioselectively polyfunctional indoles after heating with microwave irradiation. This new organometallic variation of the Fischer indole synthesis tolerates a wide range of functional groups and can be readily scaled up.

Key words

organozinc reagents - indoles - regioselectivity - Fischer indole synthesis - N-heterocycles
