The synthesis of (iso)quinoline-indole hybrids by reacting (iso)quinoline -oxides with -alkynylanilines in the presence of a combination of copper(II) catalyst and a bidentate 2,2'-bipyridine ligand is described. The utility of this method was demonstrated through site-selective functionalization of the synthesized products. A plausible reaction pathway for site-selective amination followed by annulative indole formation was elucidated by a series of mechanistic investigations.

A Lewis acid-promoted electrophilic thiocyanation/cyclization of -alkynylanilines for the synthesis of indole derivatives has been developed. The reaction utilizes MeSiBr as the Lewis acid and -thiocyanatosuccinimide as the thiocyanation reagent. A series of 2-aryl-3-thiocyanato indoles were prepared in moderate to high yields under mild conditions without metals and oxidants.

Herein, a palladium-catalyzed and ligand-controlled protocol for the divergent synthesis of pyrrole[2,3-]indole and urea derivatives has been described. Pyrrole[2,3-]indoles ("cyclization on" products) tandem cyclization of -alkynylanilines with isocyanides in the absence of a ligand and ureas ("cyclization off" products) oxidative amination of anilines with isocyanides in the presence of a ligand were obtained both in moderate to good yields with high selectivity. In this chemistry, cyclic and acyclic products were easily accessed with the same starting materials under the regulation of the ligand.

Cascade alkyl migration of 2-alkynylanilines an aromaticity destruction and reconstruction process is reported. The first alkyl migration is triggered by generation of a dearomatized arenium species oxidation and cyclization, and the second is driven by the force to restore the aromaticity of rearrangement products. The reaction gave rise to a range of multi-functionalized indoles.

Substituted organoselenium compounds are crucial structural motifs in pharmaceutical molecules. Herein, we report a metal, oxidant, and base-free electrochemical approach to access 3-selenylindoles through an oxidative cyclization of 2-alkynylanilines with diselenides. This environmentally friendly approach demonstrates a wide range of substrate scope under mild reaction conditions in an electrochemical undivided cell setup.
