In this paper, a novel and efficient synthesis of 2-alkenylindoles and 2-alkenylindole-3-carboxylates via the cascade reactions of N-nitrosoanilines with propargyl alcohols is presented. Mechanistically, the formation of the title compounds is triggered by a Rh(III)-catalyzed C(sp2)–H alkenylation of N-nitrosoaniline with propargyl alcohol followed by the simultaneous intramolecular amination/cyclization
