A novel synthetic approach to diversely functionalized indoles is described. Boc-protectedortho-aminostyrenes undergo an alkyllithium addition reaction, thereby generating a lithiated intermediate, which upon reaction with specific electrophiles sets up a cascade reaction process between the reacted electrophile andortho-amino substituent, facilitating an in situ ring closure, followed by dehydration, to generate an indole ring system. This methodology is demonstrated by the synthesis of a range of 3,5-, 1,3,5-, and 2,3,5-substituted indoles.
