title: Cascades to substituted indoles.
abstract: This paper describes the synthesis of dithioindoles from the free-radical cyclizations of arylisonitriles having pendant alkynes. Also described is the synthesis of substituted indoles and spiro-fused indoles from the coupling of dithioindoles with active hydrogen-containing compounds.
