A facile synthesis of various fluorine-containing indole derivatives via palladium-catalyzed annulation of internal alkynes
The palladium-catalyzed annulation reaction of a variety of fluorine-containing internal alkynes with 2-iodoaniline derivatives took place smoothly to give the corresponding 2,3-disubstituted indole derivatives in good to excellent yields.
