## Abstract A catalytic amount of easily available and inexpensive Cu(NO~3~)~3~.3H~2~O (10 mol%) enables electrophilic substitution reaction of indole with structurally divergent aldehydes in acetonitrile to afford the corresponding bis(indolyl)methanes in moderate to excellent yields (65โ98%) at a
