Kumada cross-coupling reactions, palladium chemistry

Of all the palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, the Kumada coupling has been applied least often in indole chemistry. However, this Grignard-Pd cross-coupling methodology has been used to couple l-methyl-2-indolylmagnesium bromide with iodobenzene and a-bromovinyltrimethylsilane to form l-methyl-2-phenylindole and l-methyl-2-(l-trimethyl-...
