Readily available Pd(II) chloride catalysts can catalyze selective and efficientoxidativecoupling between N-aryl-2-aminopyridines and internal alkynes to yield N-(2-pyridyl)indoles. This process involves the ortho C−H activation of N-aryl-2-aminopyridines, and CuCl2 was used as an oxidant. Compared to our previously reported Rh(III)-catalyzed synthesis of this class of product, this method is advantageous
