Popis: Highly regioselective annulation reactions of unsymmetrically substituted alkynes by primary 2-bromo or 2-chloroanilines are achieved with an efficient one-pot protocol, which relies on a regioselective TiCl 4 -catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination and a subsequent palladium-catalyzed intramolecular aza-Heck reaction. The use of unsymmetrically substituted alkynes in this strategy enables the synthesis of diversely functionalized indoles, with a regioselectivity that is complementary to the one obtained when employing Larock's annulation reaction.
