Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Consecutive formation of C-N and C-S bonds: The gold-catalyzed intramolecular aminosulfonylation of 2-alkynyl-N- sulfonylanilines 1 (R1 = H) produces 3-sulfonylindoles 2 in good to high yields, whereas the indium-catalyzed aminosulfonylation of 2-alkynyl-6-methoxy-N-sulfonylanilines 1 (R1 = MeO) affords 6-sulfonylindoles 3 as the major products (see scheme).
