Abstract
A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of various 3-substituted indoles is described via a Michael addition reaction using NbCl5 as a Lewis acid catalyst. Simple reaction conditions, short reaction times, less amount of catalyst loading, high yields and substrate diversity are the advantages of this methodology.
