Abstract
Indoles undergo smooth addition to activated quinolines and isoquinolines in the presence of CeCl3·7H2O under extremely mild conditions to provide 2-(1H-3indolyl)-1,2-dihydroquinolines and isoquinolines in excellent yields with high selectivity. It is entirely a new protocol to functionalize both indoles and quinolines in a single-step operation.

General Procedure.
To a stirred solution of quinoline (1 mmol) in of MeCN (3 mL) was added ethyl chloroformate (1.5 mmol) slowly at 0 °C and the mixture stirred at this temperature for 30 min. To the resulting N-acyliminium ion was added CeCl3·7H2O (0.3 mmol) and indole (1 mmol) at r.t. and the resulting mixture stirred for the appropriate time (Table
[1]
). After complete conversion as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was quenched with H2O (10 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (2 × 15 mL). The combined extracts were dried over anhyd Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (Merck, 100-200 mesh, EtOAc-hexane, 2:8) to afford a pure 2-(3-indolyl)-1,2-dihydroquinoline.
