Abstract
Biologically important bisindolylmethanes are synthesized in a domino fashion by using an iron(II) chloride–(±)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diamine [FeCl2–(±)-BINAM] complex as the catalyst. This method proceeds via oxidation of a primary alcohol into the corresponding aldehyde followed by nucleophilic addition of an indole in the presence of the catalyst. A reaction intermediate is synthesized separately and converted into the bisindolylmethane product under the same reaction conditions as support for the proposed mechanism.

- 25 Secondary alcohol 20a is highly unstable to column chromatographic purification and the sodium borohydride reduction of 3-acetylindole in EtOH at r.t. gave single compound 20a, which was used directly in the control experiment without any further purification.
- 26 The reaction intermediate might be unstable at 100 °C and may decompose before it reacts. This speculation might explain the low yield at 100 °C. Intermediate 20a might be somewhat stable at 80 °C, the temperature at which it gives the maximum yield. At lower temperature, product formation may be sluggish.

Domino reactions have attracted a great deal of attention because they provide a high degree of molecular complexity from structurally simple molecules. These reactions are typically economic and more environmentally friendly as they avoid the isolation of unstable intermediates and reduce production costs. See:
