ABSTRACTIn our continuing study of the reactivity and use of indolylborate as a versatile synthetic intermediate, we found that the use of indolylborate in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are highly effective for the preparation of various indole derivatives. The present review deals with the recent results concerning a novel approach to indole alkaloids (ellipticine, yuehchukene) based on the use of the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling protocol.
