Rho-Rho-Rho your boat: A rhodium catalyst effects the regioselective oxidative coupling of enynes with N-aryl ureas (X=NR2) and N-vinylacetamides (X=C(O)Me), affording the corresponding 2-alkenylindoles and 2-alkenylpyrroles in good yield. Simple hydrogenation delivers the C2/C3-aliphatic-substituted indole or pyrrole (see scheme).
