Indole alkaloids, such as tryptamine, Alstonine, reserpine, ergotamine and vincristine, are famous for neurotransmitters, antipsychotics, antihypertensives, migraines and cancer chemotherapy, respectively. The indole synthesized by the present invention is a 2-olefin-substituted indole, and the basic skeleton of the 2-olefin-substituted indole is widely present in active drugs and exhibits very important pharmacological properties.
