Ionic diamine rhodium complex (1) catalyzes the reductive N-cyclization of 2-vinylnitroarenes using carbon monoxide as a reducing agent to afford functionalized indoles. The catalytic system allows direct access to indoles with ester and ketone groups at the 2- or 3-position, in good yields.
离子二胺铑配合物（1）在一氧化碳作为还原剂的条件下，催化 2-乙烯基硝基芳烃的还原 N-环化反应，生成功能化吲哚。该催化体系可以直接以高产率得到 2-或 3-位带有酯基和酮基的吲哚。
