The global urge to adopt sustainable chemistry has resulted in the development of more environmentally benign strategies (EBS) that use CO2 and CO2-derived chemicals a step-economic manner. In this context, we investigated dual C–H methylation (C═O)-methoxylation indole derivatives using dimethyl carbonate (DMC) presence catalytic amounts Cs2CO3. Mechanistic insights include DMF-assisted, DMC-induced cooperative ionic catalysis, which allows DMC act as both nucleophilic an electrophilic precursor, resulting N-benzylindolyl ketones.
