An efficient, environmentally friendly, and operationally simple procedure to 1,2-disubstituted indoles from 2-alkynylanilines and diaryliodonium salts has been developed. This reaction proceeds smoothly under metal-free conditions. The products obtained could be transferred into 3,3'-diindolylmethane with DMSO catalyzed by palladium. The isotopic label experiments indicated that the methylene group in 3,3'-diindolylmethane is derived from DMSO. The diverse indoles were obtained in up to 90% yield for 28 examples.
