Abstract
Herein, we disclose a catalyst-controlled chemodivergent approach to access C2-substituted indoles and diverse aniline derivatives with good chemo- and stereoselectivity by employing vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) as coupling partners via a tandem C-H/C-C activation/annulation strategy. The key feature of this work is the divergent reactivity profile showcased by VCPs, going beyond allylation under a high-valent Rh-/MPAA catalyst system.
