A complementary site selective ortho- vs ipso-amination of aryl halides using non-electrophilic amine sources for construction of indole scaffolds is reported. A palladium-catalyzed alkyne insertion/C-H activation/palladacycle amination via merger of three easily diversified components including iodoarenes, alkynes, and amines delivers indoles with different substitution patterns even in gram scales. By employing ortho-bromoanilines, a consecutive annulative π-extension of indoles proceeds to construct indolo[1,2-f]phenanthridine scaffolds via four C-C and C-N bond formations in one pot.
