title: Synthesis of indoles via domino reaction of N-aryl amides and ethyl diazoacetate.
abstract: A general and concise synthesis of functionalized indoles via domino reaction of N-aryl amides and ethyl diazoacetate has been developed. The methodology offers a great potential for the synthesis of biologically active and naturally occurring indole derivatives.
