An aminocatalytic method for the formation of bisindolylalkanes is described; the reaction proceeds effectively at ambient temperature in the presence of moisture and air for both aldehyde and ketone substrates and has been applied to the one-step preparation of a series of naturally-occurring bis- and tris-indolylalkanes.
