title: Synthesis of indolyl imidazole derivatives via base-promoted tandem reaction of N-[2-(1-alkynyl)phenyl]carbodiimides with isocyanides.
abstract: An efficient route to indolyl imidazole derivatives has been developed through a base-promoted tandem reaction of N-[2-(1-alkynyl)phenyl]carbodiimides with isocyanides in DMSO at 40 °C. The present tandem process allows the assembly of a variety of indolyl imidazole derivatives in moderate to good yields.
