The annulation reactions of enaminones with quinonediimides /quinoneimides for the selective synthesis of indoles and 2-aminobenzofurans have been realized. With Zn(II) catalysis, quinonediimides reacted with enaminones to give indoles via...

This review introduces the application of transient directing strategy in the cyclization reactions via C-H activation. The types of cyclization reactions include C-H activation/intramolecular C(sp3)-H arylation, C-H activation/intramolecular hydroarylation of...
