Described herein are rhenium-catalyzed [3+2] annulations of N-carbamoyl indoles with alkynes via C?H/C?N bond cleavage, which provide rapid access to fused-ring pyrroloindolone derivatives. For the first time, the weakly coordinating O-directing group was successfully employed in rhenium-catalyzed C?H activation reactions, enabled by the unique catalytic trio of Re2(CO)10, Me2Zn and ZnCl2. Mechanistic studies revealed that aminozinc species plays an important role in the reaction. Based on the mechanistic understanding, a more powerful catalytic trio of Re2(CO)10, [MeZnNPh2]2 and Zn(OTf)2 was devised and applied successfully in the [4+2] annulations of indolines and alkynes affording pyrroloquinolinone derivatives.
