title: 2-Methylindole as an indicative nucleophile for developing a three-component reaction of aldehyde with two different nucleophiles.
abstract: 2-Methylindole was used as an indicative nucleophile for rapid screening of MCRs of aldehydes with two different nucleophiles. By removal of some samples that have characteristic color associated with the generation of di(indolyl)methane derivatives the difficulties encountered in the product analysis were alleviated significantly.
