An intermolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of substituted indoles with terminal alkynes has been carried out in the presence of gold(I) complex as the catalyst. The β-bis(indol-3-yl)alkane derivatives were synthesized for the first time and identified by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS techniques and elemental analysis. A possible reaction mechanism has been suggested.

Key words: gold catalyst, β-bis(indol-3-yl)alkane, indole, alkyne, Friedel-Crafts alkylation
