Abstract
We, herein, report a Pd(0) and Brønsted acid-catalyzed redox-neutral intramolecular N-allylation of indoles and pyrroles with alkynes for the synthesis of biologically important imidazolidinone-fused N-heterocycles. The allylation is completely atom-economical and is applicable to a wide range of substrates. The methodology eliminates the use of a leaving group or an oxidizing agent, often employed for the allylation of nucleophiles. To the best of our knowledge, N-allylation of indoles and pyrroles with alkynes has not been reported to date.
