Rh2(II)-catalyzed selective aminomethylene migration from styryl azides.

ABSTRACT: Rh(2)(II)-carboxylate complexes were discovered to promote the selective migration of aminomethylenes in β,β-disubstituted styryl azides to form 2,3-disubstituted indoles. Mechanistic data are also presented that suggest that the migration occurs stepwise before diffusion of the iminium ion.
