Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl bromides with 2-alkynyl arylazides or 2-alkynyl benzylazides provides straightforward access to indoles and isoquinolines with high efficiency and excellent functional group compatibility. In the cyclization process, an in situ generated iminophosphorane serves as the nucleophile that attacks the alkyne moiety.
