5-Nitro indole affording target tertiary alcohol (15) in 64% yield need 10 h at 60 degC due to the strong elec-tron-withdrawing properties of the nitro group.

TEMPO-substituted b-keto esters containing sterically different substituents subjected to the tan-dem reaction afford the corresponding in-dole-containing tertiary alcohol in good to excellent yields (compounds 26~29, 31) under optimized con-ditions.
