A mild strategy for constructing indolequinone motifs is described on the basis of the Sonogashira reaction and a copper-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization cascade reaction. The first step involves the palladium- and copper-catalyzed reaction between halogenated naphthoquinone and terminal acetylene to generate a coupling product, which then reacts in a copper-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization with the nitrogen functional group adjacent to the carbon-carbon triple bond.
