Abstract
A novel and effective protocol for the synthesis of 2-substituted 3-halo-1H-indoles by PdX2/CuX2-catalyzed annulations of 2-ethynylbenzeneamines has been developed. In the presence of PdX2 and CuX2, the annulation reactions of a variety of 2-ethynylbenzeneamines were conducted in moderate to good yields. It is noteworthy that only N-acetyl-protected 2-ethynylbenzeneamines can undergo the reaction successfully.
Key words
palladium(II) halide - copper(II) halide - annulation - 2-ethynylbenzeneamine - 2-substituted 3-halo-1H-indoles

This is may be because the concentration of the halide ions can stabilize intermediate 6 in Scheme 2. However, more halide ions result in some side-reactions. For the effect of the halide ion on the halopalladation reaction in detail, see reference 1d and:
