An efficient and convenient method was developed for the one-step synthesis of various substituted ethyl 2-(1H-indol-2-yl) acetates via a palladium-catalyzed regioselective cascade C-H activation reaction. Importantly, this practical approach can be carried out with readily accessible starting materials and exhibits excellent functional group compatibility.
