| Reaction type | Ring forming reaction |
The Hegedus indole synthesis is a name reaction in organic chemistry that allows for the generation of indoles through palladium(II)-mediated oxidative cyclization of ortho-alkenyl anilines.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The reaction can still take place for tosyl-protected amines.[4]
Application[edit]
2-Allylaniline can be converted to 2-Methylindole using the Hegedus indole synthesis.[1]
