Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid efficiently catalyzes the conjugate addition of indoles to p-benzoquinones under mild conditions affording
the corresponding indolylquinones in high yields with high selectivity. In particular, the poorly reactive menadione underwent reaction with
indoles under similar conditions to give 3-indolylnaphthoquinones.
