Indole is a ubiquitous structural motif with important applications in many areas of chemistry. Given this, a simple and efficient Ru(II)-catalyzed synthesis of indole via intermolecular annulation of N-aryl-2-aminopyridines and sulfoxonium ylides was proposed and accomplished. Excellent selectivity and good functional group tolerance of this transformation were observed. This protocol provides easy

Abstract Rhodium(III)-catalyzed synthesis of indole derivatives has been realized via cascade reaction of C H alkylation/nucleophilic cyclization starting from readily available N-phenylpyridin-2-amines and sulfoxonium ylides. Notably, this transformation could smoothly proceed with high yields, good regioselectivity, and feature broad group tolerance and under redox-neutral condition to avoid external
Synthesis of 2-Arylindoles by Rhodium-Catalyzed/Copper-Mediated Annulative Coupling of<i>N</i>-Aryl-2-aminopyridines and Propargyl Alcohols via Selective C–H/C–C Activation
A versatile rhodium-catalyzed/copper-mediated C-H/C-C activation and cascade annulationreaction was described to form 2-arylindole derivatives. Highly selective C-C bond cleavage of γ-substituted tert-propargyl alcohols occurred, together with pyridine-directed ortho C(sp2)-H bond activation, affording a series of 2-arylindoles with yields up to 90%. Subsequent derivations were smoothly conducted
A Rh(iii)-catalyzed/Cu(ii)-mediated cascade reaction between N-aryl-2-aminopyridine and propargylic amine has been developed. Selective C(sp2)-Hbond activation and C(sp)-C(sp3) cleavage occurred during the reaction, which was followed by a cyclization reaction to provide an unprecedented synthetic route to form 1,2-disubstituted indoles in yields up to 85%.

featured as electrophiles, nucleophiles, and radical acceptors in synthetic chemistry and have emerged as rapid and versatile synthons in the preparation of N-heterocyclic systems. Herein, a novel approach to 2-arylindoles via Pd(II)-catalyzed cyclization reaction of anilines with vinyl azides has been achieved, which furnishes the versatile 2-arylindoles with high efficieny and excellent regioselectivity
