alternatives to the common tertiary phosphine/Pd systems, well‐defined N‐heterocyclic carbene–Pd complexes have been proven to be highly efficient precatalysts for intermoleculardirect annalution of o‐haloanilines and ketones at lower catalyst loadings. A highly efficient and practical protocol for synthesis of functionalizedindoles was developed using (IPr)Pd(acac)Cl as catalyst. Both o‐bromoanilines
