title: Synthesis of N-vinylindoles through copper catalyzed cyclization reaction of N-(2-alkynylphenyl)imine.
abstract: A copper(II)-catalyzed cyclization reaction of N-(2-alkynylphenyl)imine was developed. This strategy provided an effective procedure for the synthesis of substituted N-vinylindoles in moderate to good yields.
