In this article, a simple method for the synthesis of bis(di(indolyl)aryl)methanes is described. The iodine‐catalyzed (5 mol %) reaction of indoles with various bis(salicylaldehyde) derivatives affords the bis(di(indolyl)aryl)methanes in excellent yields. The reaction works well under mild reaction condition with shorter reaction time.
