Base-promoted domino reaction for the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indoles from 2-aminobenzaldehyde/2-amino aryl ketones, tosylhydrazine, and aromatic aldehydes

A base-promoted domino reaction to synthesize the 2,3-disubstituted indoles from 2-aminobenzaldehyde/2-amino aryl ketones, tosylhydrazine, and aromatic aldehydes has been developed. This strategy provides a simple and beneficial way for the construction of 2,3-disubstituted indole compounds from readily available starting materials under mild conditions.
