title: Rhodium-catalyzed annulation of ynamides with bifunctional arylboron reagents.
abstract: Annulation of ynamides with arylboronic acids or esters containing an electrophilic functional group at the ortho-position proceeds under the action of rhodium catalysis to generate 2-amidoindenols or 2-amidoindenes, usually with good regioselectivity.
