Base-switched methylenation and formylation using tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) as a carbon source have been achieved under mild conditions, catalyzed by CuCl(2), with atmospheric oxygen as oxidant. Bisindolylmethanes, diphenylmethanes and 3-formylindoles were synthesized with excellent regioselectivity and good yield.
