Scheme 10. Palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction <strong>of</strong> indol-5-yl boronic acid.<br />

The next example investigated the <strong>synthesis</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>indoles</strong> via palladium-catalyzed<br />

Suzuki-Miyaura reaction on a polystyrene solid phase. Combining solid phase<br />

<strong>synthesis</strong> with high throughput screening has made a significant contribution for<br />

lead discoveries <strong>and</strong> optimization in pharmaceutical research. For producing<br />

combinatorial libraries, solid phase <strong>synthesis</strong> is regarded as a very efficient<br />

method. [44] Suzuki reactions have been already applied to solid phase <strong>synthesis</strong><br />

but a limited number <strong>of</strong> examples were reported for the coupling reaction <strong>of</strong><br />

immobilized arylmetals with free aryl halides in solution. [45] T. Kasahara <strong>and</strong> Y.<br />

Kondo found a method where immobilized 3-pinacol-substituted indole reacted<br />

with different aryl halides under Suzuki st<strong>and</strong>ard conditions. [46] The paper<br />

describes the preparation <strong>of</strong> immobilized indolylboron <strong>and</strong> the subsequent<br />

arylation using palladium-catalyst (Scheme 11). The immobilized 3-iodoindole 51<br />

was easily prepared from indole via iodonation followed by immobilization using<br />

chlorosulfonylated polystyrene.<br />

Continued along palladium-catalyzed borylation [47] via Murata’s protocol [48] the<br />

indolylboron 52 was investigated. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling was<br />

[49]<br />

examined subsequently with Pd[P(tert-Bu)3]2 as catalyst <strong>and</strong> led to the<br />

according coupled products 53a-e in good to very good yields.<br />
