Abstract
Silver-catalyzed on-water intramolecular cyclization of acetylenic free amines affords 7-azaindoles or indoles in very good yields. Neither strong base/acid catalysts nor N-substituted substrates are required. Hydrogen bonds between water and the substrates play an important role in improving chemical reactivity and regioselectivity.
