A highly efficient, chemically stable and well-definedhomogeneoussilver(I) catalyst is reported for the room temperature, intramolecularhydroamination of 2-alkynylanilines leading to indole derivatives.
A tandem phospha‐Michael addition/N‐acylation/intramolecular Wittigreaction of in situ formed aza‐o‐QMs is disclosed. This approach features high functional group tolerance and provides a convenient and practical access to biologically significant indole derivatives (37 examples, up to 91% yield) under mild reaction conditions.
