To a solution of 2.0 g (7.1 mmol) of ethyl (2-bromoindol-3-yl)acetate in 40 ml of dioxane was added under argon 1.2 g (0.11 mmol) of Pd(PPh3)4 and 13.3 ml of 2.0 M sodium carbonate. After stirring at room temperature for ca. 15 min, 1.3 g (11 mmol) of benzeneboronic acid was added, and the mixture was heated at 80° C. under argon overnight. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and solids were removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated and chromatographed on silica gel with toluene as an eluent to yield 1.6 g (81%) of the 2-phenyl indole as a yellow crystalline solid.
