10. 2, 0°). Other isonitriles Ib-f were similarly prepared in 61 to 82% overall yields from o-iodoformanilide by palladium-mediated coupling reactions.
11. A typical experimental procedure is as follows: A solution of an isonitrile (0.85 mmole), n-Bu3SnH (0.93 mmole), and AIBN (0.04 mmole) in 5 ml of dry acetonitrile was heated at 100° for 1 hour in a tightly capped culture tube under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was partitioned between 3 W HC1 and ether. After washing the ethereal layer with a saturated KF solution, the desired indole was separated by flash silica gel chromatography.
