A novel Rh-catalysed intermolecular [3+2] cascade cyclization of benzimidates and alkenes has been developed to assemble polysubstituted 3-aminoindenes. The target products are important building blocks for organic synthesis and drug discovery. Cheap and easily available α,β-unsaturated ketones or nitroalkenes are applied as coupling partners. Acyl or nitro groups are easily introduced to 3-aminoindenes
and expeditious protocol for the synthesis of difunctionalized indenes from readily available benzimidates and nitroalkenes through rhodium‐catalyzed C−H activation and cyclization is reported here. The transformation exhibits powerful reactivity, tolerates a large number of functionalgroups, and proceeds in moderate to high yields under an ambient atmosphere, providing a straightforward method to access
