Abstract

A novel dehydrodimerization of malonates with indoles has been developed, providing simple and rapid access to 3-indolyl tetramethyl 1,1,2,2-ethanetetracarboxylates. Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed ‘one pot’ C(sp2)–C(sp3) and C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-dehydrogenative-couplings of malonates with a variety of 2-aryl indoles were involved. The titled compounds were obtained in high yields with good functional group tolerance.
