Palladium(II)/N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Regioselective Heteroannulation of Tertiary Propargyl Alcohols and<i>o</i>-Haloanilines to form 2-Alkenylindoles
Monometallic and bimetallic palladium(II)/N‐heterocyclic carbene complexes appended with naphthalimide or bisnaphthalimide moieties were designed, synthesized, and characterized. Employment of these catalysts brings about the step‐economic and regioselective heteroannulation of tertiary propargyl alcohols with o‐haloanilines resulting in biologically and pharmaceutically relevant 2‐alkenylindoles.

Indium-catalyzed annulation of 3-aryl- and 3-heteroarylindoles with propargyl ethers: synthesis and photoluminescent properties of aryl- and heteroaryl[c]carbazoles
Treatment of 3-aryl- and 3-heteroarylindoles with propargyl ethers under indium catalysis successfully provided aryl- and heteroaryl[c]carbazoles, which were found to be more efficient emitters compared with the corresponding [a]-analogs.
