A Rh(III)-catalyzed undirected C-H activation/alkene insertion to synthesize diversified indole-fused polycyclics has been developed. Intramolecular electrophilic cyclization generated a 3-indolyl rhodium species that went through an aryl-to-aryl 1,4-rhodium migration to realize the C-H activation. The subsequent [4 + 2] carboannulation or hydroarylation of alkenes could be achieved, respectively, by simply adjusting the additives of the reaction.

Diversity-oriented synthesis strategy for the efficient assembly of indole-fused polycyclic scaffolds via rhodium-catalyzed -indole-directed C-H coupling with propargylic alcohol derivatives in a regioselective manner was developed. Five 2-phenyl-1-indole-embedded core skeletons were synthesized. In particular, three different indole-fused exo-olefin-containing polycycles were realized, which may be manipulated for further chemistry.

Polycyclic fused indoles are ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceuticals due to their immense structural diversity and biological inference, making them suitable for charting broader chemical space. Indole-based polycycles continue to be fascinating as well as challenging targets for synthetic fabrication because of their characteristic structural frameworks possessing biologically intriguing compounds of both natural and synthetic origin. As a result, an assortment of new chemical processes and catalytic routes has been established to provide unified access to these skeletons in a very efficient and selective manner.

Palladium-catalysed and base-dependent intra-molecular -substitution and cyclisation strategies involving -indolyl-substituted aryl-sulfonamides for the rapid construction of 2-aryl indole and indole-fused six-membered sultams are described. The Pd(OAc)/PhP/EtN combination delivers indolyl C2 arylated motifs C(2)-N bond cleavage followed by C-C bond formation. In sharp contrast to this, the Pd(OAc)/PhP/KCO combination induced intramolecular-Heck cross-coupling affords polycyclic sultams exclusively.
