title: Selectively substituted thiophenes and indoles by a tandem palladium-catalyzed multicomponent reaction.
abstract: A variety of di- and trisubstituted thiophenes were synthesized by a one-pot palladium-catalyzed ortho-alkylation sequence terminated by either Heck or C-H coupling. Initial results toward the functionalization of indoles are also presented.
