Abstract

Abstract The combination of Ph 3 PAuCl and AgOTf was proven to be an efficient catalyst for the cascade C–C and C–N bond formation reactions from enamines and bromoquinones or nitroolefins. This protocol affords a straightforward method for the synthesis of polysubstituted indolequinones and pyrroles in good yields.
