3-Allylindoles constitute a key structural feature in many natural products and bioactive compounds. In this work, we developed Mo-mediated reductive cyclization/allylation of 2-alkynyl nitroarenes with 1,3-dienes. Using Mo(CO)6 as both the reductant catalyst, broad range functionalized 3-allylindoles were prepared good to excellent yields from easily available 2-alkynylnitroarenes 1,3-dienes starting materials.

A hypervalent iodine-enabled double intramolecular electrophilic cyclization of 1,3-diynes has been employed in the synthesis selenopheno[3,2-b]indoles and 3-selenocyanato-2-benzoselenophene indoles. plausible mechanism involving situ formation reactive Cl-SeCN species from reaction PhICl2 KSeCN, followed by cascade C-N/C-Se bond formations, was postulated.
