Indole is a ubiquitous structural motif with important applications in many areas of chemistry. Given this, a simple and efficient Ru(II)-catalyzed synthesis of indole via intermolecular annulation of N-aryl-2-aminopyridines and sulfoxonium ylides was proposed and accomplished. Excellent selectivity and good functional group tolerance of this transformation were observed. This protocol provides easy
A highly regioselective synthesis of 2-substituted indoles was realized through Ir(III)-catalyzed CH functionalization of N-phenylpyridin-2-amines followed by the reaction with sulfoxonium ylides and intramolecular cyclization under mild conditions. The reaction completed with broad range of substrate scopes and gave various 2-substituted indoles in up to 98% yields.

Abstract Rhodium(III)-catalyzed synthesis of indole derivatives has been realized via cascade reaction of C H alkylation/nucleophilic cyclization starting from readily available N-phenylpyridin-2-amines and sulfoxonium ylides. Notably, this transformation could smoothly proceed with high yields, good regioselectivity, and feature broad group tolerance and under redox-neutral condition to avoid external

featured as electrophiles, nucleophiles, and radical acceptors in synthetic chemistry and have emerged as rapid and versatile synthons in the preparation of N-heterocyclic systems. Herein, a novel approach to 2-arylindoles via Pd(II)-catalyzed cyclization reaction of anilines with vinyl azides has been achieved, which furnishes the versatile 2-arylindoles with high efficieny and excellent regioselectivity
