One-Pot Formation of Functionalized Indole and Benzofuran Derivatives Using a Single Bifunctional Ruthenium Catalyst

Abstract

We report a single bifunctional ruthenium catalyst for cyclization of terminal alkynylaryl amines and -phenols to corresponding indole and benzofuran derivatives in good yields. Key features the ability to cyclize and hydrate terminal alkynes in one step and to deuterate the heteroaromatic compounds formed.
