Rhodium(Ⅲ)-catalyzed synthesis of indole derivatives has been realized via cascade reaction of C-H alkylation/nucleophilic cyclization starting from readily available N-phenylpyridin-2-amines and sulfoxonium ylides. Notably, this transformation could smoothly proceed with high yields, good regioselectivity, and feature broad group tolerance and under redox-neutral condition to avoid external oxidant. The titled products are potentially important building blocks in the organic synthesis through various chemical transformations.
