title: PtCl4-catalyzed cyclization reaction of beta-allenols in the presence of indoles.
abstract: The highly regioselective PtCl4-catalyzed reaction of indoles with beta-allenols in THF at room temperature afforded indole derivatives containing a six-membered ether ring at the 3-position in moderate isolated yields. On the basis of a D-labeling experiment, a mechanistic rationale was proposed.
