Uttam B.More, Bapurao S.Sonawane, Pramod P.Mahulikar

A mild and efficient electrophilic substitution reaction of indole with various aldehydes and ketones in presence of copper sulphate as catalyst, afforded bis-indolylmethanes in good yields. The simple isolation of product is additional feature of the methodology.
