Rh2(II)-catalyzed ester migration to afford 3 H-indoles from trisubstituted styryl azides

Rh2(II)-Complexes trigger the formation of 3H-indoles from ortho-alkenyl substituted aryl azides. This reaction occurs through a 4π-electron-5-atom electrocyclization of the rhodium N-aryl nitrene followed by a [1,2]-migration to afford only 3H-indoles. The selectivity of the migration is dependent on the identity of the β-styryl substituent.
