Heterocyclic compounds are of great chemical and biological significance.[1] In particular, nitrogen-containing heterocycles are structural constituents of many bioactive natural products, medicinally important compounds, and organic materials.[2] Recent strategies for the synthesis of heterocycles based on metal-catalyzed reactions nicely complement the classical synthetic approaches. Among their advantages is that harsh conditions are frequently avoided and readily available starting materials can be utilized.[3] Despite the advances realized, more flexible and general routes to a variety of heterocycles are needed. In particular, techniques that can readily give access to heterocyclic cores with a diverse and easily manipulated set of substituents are still of critical importance.In the last decade, metal-catalyzed CÀN bond-forming reactions [4] have become important methods for the preparation of nitrogen-containing compounds in both academic and pharmaceutical laboratories.[5] In recent years, Cu-promoted processes have evolved into viable alternatives to the more widely practiced Pd-catalyzed reactions.[6, 7] The Cu-based methods are distinguished by their broad scope, high efficiency, and mild reaction conditions, thus making them attractive vehicles for further applications.[8] The development of a method for generating multiple classes of nitrogen-containing heterocycles from common building blocks is a highly desirable goal. Previously, Ackermann showed that substrates for the Cacchi indole synthesis [9] can be prepared by Pd-or Cu-catalyzed amination of oalkynyl aryl halides.[10] Under the conditions of these coupling processes, cyclization to the N-benzyl or N-aryl indoles takes place in an efficient manner.[11] We wondered whether it would be possible to effect a related transformation as a means to access other important nitrogen heterocycles,
