16. 2 arylated product, but not a 3,3-disubstituted indole. The presumed mechanism follows: initial deprotonation of indole, followed by arylation at C-3, and finally retro-Mannich to give the observed product. This work does not represent the first example of the direct arylation of an indole to give a C-3 quaternary center, rather, it was the 'presumed' intermediate that served as precedent for the reaction of bis-aryl iodide salts with indole derivatives. Our work is first to isolate and characterize C-3 quaternary indolines prepared by reaction of an indole and a bis-aryl iodide. Ebnöther A., Niklaus P., and Süess R. Helv. Chim. Acta (1969) 629-638
