Abstract

A Cp*Rh-catalyzed C–H functionalization/cyclization to afford 2,3-substituted N-secondary alkyl indole derivatives is described. This intermolecular cyclization of N-secondary nitrosoanilines and unsymmetrically substituted alkynes has good performances in yields, substrate scope, and regioselectivities.

Key words

regioselective synthesis - N-secondary alkyl indoles - intermolecular cyclization - N-nitrosoanilines - unsymmetrical alkynes
