Abstract
An efficient, practical, and highly regioselective direct palladium-catalyzed C-3 arylation of electron-rich free (NH)-indoles with various aryl bromides under ligandless conditions in refluxing toluene in the presence of K2CO3 as the base can be run outside a glovebox without purification of solvent and reagents.
