Reaction Steps

A mixture of indole-5-boronic acid (2.0 g, 12.4 mmole); iodobenzene (2.48 g, 12.2 mmole), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium (0) (288 mg, 0.25 mmole), sodium carbonate (4.34 g, 40.9 mmole) in water (20 ml), and dioxane (20 ml) was stirred under an argon atmosphere and heated to 100° C. for 5 hrs, cooled to room temperature, acidified with 1M HCl, extracted, washed, dried, and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography to give about 1.6 g of 5-phenyl-1H-indole, mp. 72-74° C.
