title: [Cp*IrCl2]2 catalyzed formation of 2,2'-biindoles from 2-ethynylanilines.
abstract: [Cp*IrCl2]2 catalyzes the cyclization of 2-ethynylanilines to 2,2'-biindoles via intramolecular hydroamination. A reaction pathway has been proposed on the basis of deuterium labeling experiments and computational studies.
