Abstract
A Co(III)-catalyzed reaction provides indoles from arylhydrazines and alkynes. Notable synthetic features include regioselectivity for a meta-substituted arylhydrazine, regioselectivity for a chain-branched terminal alkyne, formal incorporation of an acetylenic unit through C2-desilylation and formal inversion of regioselectivity through consecutive C3-derivatization and C2-desilylation processes.
