Procedure: Adapting the procedure of H.-C. Zhang (Tet. Lett. 1997, 38, 2439) ethyl 4-amino-3-iodobenzoate (from example 10, 0.500 g, 1.72 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (5 mL) and LiCl (0.073 g, 1.72 mmol, 1 equivalent), PPh3 (0.090 g, 0.34 mmol, 0.2 equivalent), K2CO3 (1.188 g, 8.6 mmol, 5 equivalents) and phenylpropyne (0.645 mL, 5.76 mmol, 3 equivalents) were added. The solution was degassed by purging with argon for 1 h and palladium acetate (0.039 g, 0.17 mmol, 0.1 equivalent) was added. The mixture was stirred at 80° C. under argon for 20 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (25 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (50 mL). The extract was washed with brine (3×25 mL) and dried (MgSO4). Concentration under reduced pressure and purification by flash chromatography with 10–15% EtOAc-hexane gave the desired 2-phenyl-3-methyl indole (0.275 g, least polar component) and the 3-phenyl-2-methyl isomer (0.109 g, more polar component). The solution was degassed by purging with argon for 1 h extracted with EtOAc (50 mL) The extract was washed with brine (3×25 mL) dried (MgSO4) Concentration under reduced pressure and purification by flash chromatography with 10–15% EtOAc-hexane

Procedure: Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate (15.00 g, 91 mmol) and iodine (11.80 g, 46.5 mmol) were mixed with water (80 mL) and chlorobenzene (4.60 g, 41 mmol). The mixture was stirred while the temperature was gradually raised to 90° C. over 30 min. Hydrogen peroxide (30%, 50 mL) was added over 10 h at 90° C. After stirring at that temperature for an additional 6 h, the mixture was cooled and the solution decanted from the residual solids. The solids were dissolved in DCM and the solution washed successively with sodium thiosulfate and brine. After drying (MgSO4), the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting brown solid was triturated with hexane to remove di-iodinated by-products. The desired compound was obtained as a brown solid (22.85 g, 86% yield). After stirring at that temperature for an additional 6 h the mixture was cooled the solution decanted from the residual solids The solids were dissolved in DCM the solution washed successively with sodium thiosulfate and brine After drying (MgSO4) the solvent was removed under reduced pressure the resulting brown solid was triturated with hexane to remove di-iodinated by-products
