A new procedure for the synthesis of 2-substituted indoles and 2,2′-bi-indolyls

Abstract
The 2-alkoxy-3-hydroxyindolines produced by photo-oxygenation and reduction of indoles give 3-substituted indoles on treatment with nucleophiles in the presene of Lewis acids; for example, indoles give 2,2′-bi-indolyls.
