We report that the use of a diaminoalkyne in the azide-alkyne cycloaddition with aryl azides leads to 3H-indoles under mild, uncatalysed conditions. Computations reveal that N2 extrusion from, in one case, isolable triazoles is facile, generating imino carbenes, which undergo intramolecular aryl C-H bond activation and give 3H-indoles as products.
