Indoles are known to exhibit a broad range <strong>of</strong> biological activity. There is always a<br />

great dem<strong>and</strong> for their evaluation as potential drug c<strong>and</strong>idates.<br />

Larock et al. reported about a solid-phase <strong>synthesis</strong> <strong>of</strong> trisubstituted <strong>indoles</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

their further elaboration through palladium-mediated coupling reactions. [114] The<br />

authors developed an iodocyclization process that presented iodo-containing<br />

products supported by solid phase. Such an iodo-containing compound is shown<br />

in Scheme 34. The immobilized 3-iodoindole 135 was converted with<br />

phenylacetylen 136 under st<strong>and</strong>ard Sonogashira reaction conditions to the<br />

corresponding coupled product 137. The authors were obtained the final solid<br />

phase-free compound by tranesterification <strong>and</strong> isolation <strong>of</strong> the methyl ester in a<br />

yield <strong>of</strong> 91% with a purity <strong>of</strong> 93%.<br />
