Abstract

Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl₅) can efficiently catalyze the condensation of indoles with aldehydes as well as ketones at room temperature to afford bis(indolyl)methanes and di-bis(indolyl)methanes in high yields and short reaction times.

KEY WORDS: PCl₅, bis(Indolyl)methane, di-bis(Indolyl)methane, Indole, Aldehyde, Ketone
