Chelates are the key : A conceptually novel indole ring forming reaction through heteroanulation is available through the palladium‐catalyzed reaction of N ‐alkenylanilides with primary or secondary amines. The key feature is the formation of an unprecedented σ ,π‐chelated palladium species (see scheme); nitrogen nucleophiles can add to the activated alkyne unit of this species to form the indole skeleton.
