Abstract We have developed a Au-promoted Pd-catalyzed cyclization/cross-coupling of N,N-dimethyl-o-alkynylaniline with aryl iododes to synthesize 2,3-diarylindoles under mild and base-free conditions. A related vinyl-Au species has been isolated through Au-promoted cyclization of N,N-dimethyl-o-alkynylaniline and structurally characterized. Further study on its reactivity suggests the vinyl-Au species might be out of catalytic cycle, and PhPd(OTf)(PPh3)2 is probably the reaction intermediate.
