Popis: A Cu(OAc)2-promoted oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction of α-acylmethyl malonates with indole derivatives was developed. In the case of indoles, the regioselective coupling products were formed through a sequential dehydrogenation-addition-dehydrogenation process. When a second nucleophilic center was located in the 2-position of indoles, further successive nucleophilic cyclization occurred to give polycyclic indole derivatives. The Cu(OAc)2 was proved to act as not only an oxidant but also a catalyst.
