Reaction Steps

Following General Procedure A (90° C., 30 hours), 1H-indole (176 mg, 1.5 mmol) is coupled with iodo-benzene (112 μL, 1.0 mmol). The crude brown oil is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: hexanes) to provide 180 mg (93% isolated yield) of the desired product as a light green oil.
