The Bartoli indole synthesis is the treatment of an ortho-substituted nitro-aromatic compound with 3 equiv of vinylmagnesium bromide to give the 7-substituted indole, 1, 2 and this method has rapidly become the shortest and most flexible synthesis for indoles of this substitution pattern. 1-5 We have recently reported an extension to this methodology, suggesting that it may not be limited exclusively to the synthesis of 7-substituted indoles but that modest yields of other substitution patterns may also be obtained via this methodology. 6 However, there is no doubt that the best yields are obtained when the nitro-aromatic compound possesses an ortho substituent, enforcing selectivity in the 3, 3-sigmatropic rearrangement and subsequent cyclization step. This ortho substituent is, of course, undesirable in the synthesis of many indoles when a Bartoli approach may be advantageous.
