Abstract
In a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular addition of C-N and S-N bond to alkynes, a wide range of functional groups including acyl, pyruvoyl, amide, and sulfonyl groups can migrate smoothly and be conveniently introduced at the C-3 position of indoles. The operational simplicity and broad substrate scope demonstrate the great potential of this method for the synthesis of highly substituted indoles.
