title: Synthesis of 1-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1,2-dihydroisoquinolines via AgOTf-catalyzed three-component reactions of 2-alkynylbenzaldehydes, amines, and indoles.
abstract: Three-component reactions of 2-alkynylbenzaldehydes, amines, and indoles catalyzed by AgOTf under mild conditions afford the 1-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1,2-dihydroisoquinolines in good yields. This silver-catalyzed tandem reaction is found to be workable with various indoles, anilines or alkyl amines, and 2-alkynylbenzaldehydes with electron-withdrawing groups attached on the aromatic backbone.
