The palladium(II) complexes of the olefins ethene, propene, and 1-hexene reacted with 1-lithioindole to produce N-alkylated indoles exclusively.Attempts to perform this N-alkylation intramoleculary (to form tricyclic material from 2-allylskatole) failed.Anilines with dienic side chains in the 2-position were subjected to Pd(II)-assisted cyclization conditions in attempts to induce polycyclization.However, only monocyclization was observed.
