Abstract

A series of trihalogenated alkenylbenzenes undergo consecutive palladium catalyzed inter- and intramolecular amination reactions to deliver a series of 1-functionalized mono- chloroindoles. 4-, 5-, 6-and 7-Chloroindoles can all be prepared; carbamates, anilines and amines can be employed as the N-nucleophile.
