Abstract

A Pt(II)-catalyzed intramolecular translocation annulation of ortho-alkynylamides provides indoles. The formation of an acylium intermediate is suggested, which can further react with an indol-3-ylplatinum species in an intramolecular manner, albeit within the same solvent cage to form 3-acyl indoles.
