“…Most approaches for the synthesis of indole and benzofuran derivatives require an ortho ‐disubstituted arene group, which upon cyclization affords the desired compound . Usually, these synthetic methodologies involve the use of transition metal complexes, such as cobalt, copper,, gold, palladium, ruthenium, platinum or indium as catalysts for the synthesis of these moieties. For example, a common approach constitutes the metal‐catalysed cyclization of ortho ‐substituted anilines with alkynes (Scheme , A ).…”
