Fluorinated indoles have received considerable attention because incorporation of fluorine into target molecule can influence reactivity, selectivity and biological activity. Herein, a simple microwave-assisted synthesis of novel fluorinated indole derivatives have been developed by the reaction of 5-fluoroindoline-2,3-dione with various anilines. The reaction could be conducted using readily available substrates within short periods of 9-15 min under microwave irradiation with good to excellent yields of the product (64-92%). This approach exploits the synthetic potential of microwave irradiation and copper dipyridine dichloride (CuPy 2 Cl 2) combination and offers many advantages such as full reaction control, excellent product yields, shorter reaction time, eco-friendly procedure and rapid feedback.
