A general and efficient rhodium-catalyzed redox-neutral annulation of N-acetoxyacetanilides, readily accessible from nitroarenes, with alkynes has been accomplished for the synthesis of substituted indole derivatives. A wide range of substituted 2,3-diarylindoles were achieved from various substituted N-acetoxyacetanilides and symmetrical/unsymmetrical alkynes in good to excellent yields. The developed method was successfully integrated with the synthesis of N-acetoxyacetanilides for the efficient one-pot synthesis of indoles from nitroarenes. The important features are the introduction of N-acetoxyacetamide as a new directing group, redox-neutral annulation, an additive-free approach, wide functional group tolerance, an intramolecular version, and a one-pot reaction of nitroarenes. The method was further extended to the synthesis of potent higher analogues of indole, viz., pyrrolo[3,2-f]indoles and dibenzo[a,c]carbazoles. In addition, a plausible mechanism was proposed based on the isolation and stoichiometric study of a potential aryl-Rh intermediate.

It has been established that reductive complexation of functionalized benzofulvenes, which are readily prepared from commercially available indene and 2-methylindene, with RhCl3 in ethanol affords the corresponding indenyl–rhodium(III) dichlorides bearing substituents at the 1- (H or CO2Et), 2- (H or Me), and 3- [CH2Ph or CH2(2-MeOC6H4)] positions. The indenyl–rhodium(III) complexes bearing one ethoxycarbonyl group showed higher thermal stability and regioselectivity than our previously reported CpERhIII complex toward the oxidative [3+2] annulation of acetanilides with internal alkynes.

A simple and efficient approach for the preparation of substituted indoles and isoquinolones via a nickel-catalyzed Larock-type heteroannulation reaction is reported. This transformation employed air-stable and inexpensive Ni(dppp)Cl2 as a precatalyst and Et3N as a mild base. Moreover, the reaction occurs efficiently under mild conditions, and a wide range of substituted indoles and isoquinolones bearing various functional groups are obtained in moderate to excellent yields.
