Indole derivatives have been considered as “privileged scaffolds” in drug discovery since they are capable of binding many receptors with high affinity. 3-Indolecarboxylates are widespread structure motifs in many natural products and drug molecules, such as arbidol, tropisetron, PD 0298029, and grandilodine A, etc. Consequently, synthetic studies toward 3-indolecarboxylates have been reported in recent years. Elegant cyclization strategies have been developed via transition-metal catalyzed or transition-metal-free reactions, and direct functionalization at C-3 position for synthesis of ester functional groups was also extremely attractive. Based on our studies toward synthesis of 3-indolecarboxylates, the recent developments of synthesis of 3-indolecarboxylates by different synthetic methods in view of the types of substrates are reviewed.

Key words: 3-indolecarboxylate, metal-catalyzed cyclization, C—H functionalization, transition metal-free reaction, recent development
