[Cp?RhIII]-catalyzed annulation of tertiary aniline N-oxides with alkynes was reported to achieve the challenging ortho C-H functionalization of tertiary anilines via N-O bond acting as a traceless directing group. More significantly, this system represents the first example which integrates C-H activation, oxygen-atom transfer, and N-dealkylative cyclization in one reaction. This unprecedented coupling reaction has allowed the construction of N-alkylindole derivatives in high efficiency with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.
