Abstract

Zirconium tetrachloride is used as a catalyst for the electrophilic substitution reaction of indole with aldehydes or ketones at ambient temperature to afford the corresponding bis(indolyl)methanes in good to excellent yields.

Key words

indole - aldehydes - ketones - bis(indolyl)methanes - electrophilic substitution - zirconium tetrachloride
