Abstract

Abstract Ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerizations of aromatic homo-and bis- homopropargylic amines/amides efficiently afford indoles, dihydroisoquinolines and dihydroquinolines. These processes were regioselective (5-and 6-endo cyclizations) on using key Ru vinylidene intermediates. The presence of an amine/ammonium base-acid pair increased the rate of cyclization and facilitated the catalytic turnover.
