Description
Summary:This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art procedures in terms of the preparation of <i>N</i>-arylindoles. After a short introduction, the transition-metal-free procedures available for the <i>N</i>-arylation of indoles are briefly discussed. Then, the nickel-catalyzed and palladium-catalyzed <i>N</i>-arylation of indoles are both discussed. In the next section, copper-catalyzed procedures for the <i>N</i>-arylation of indoles are described. The final section focuses on recent findings in the field of biologically active <i>N</i>-arylindoles.
