RT Journal Article T1 Formation of Indoles, Dihydroisoquinolines and Dihydroquinolines by Ruthenium-Catalyzed Heterocyclizations A1 Varela Fernández, Alejandro A1 Varela Carrete, Jesús Ángel A1 Saá Rodríguez, Carlos K1 Heterocyclizations K1 Indoles K1 Isoquinolines K1 Quinolines K1 Ruthenium K1 Vinylidenes AB Indoles, dihydroisoquinolines and dihydroquinolines were efficiently prepared by ruthenium-catalyzed heterocyclizations of aromatic homo- and bis-homopropargyl amines/amides in the presence of an amine/ammonium base-acid pair. These regioselective 5- and 6-endo cyclizations most probably occur by nucleophilic trapping of key Ru vinylidene intermediates.
