Convenient and highly efficient : Indenamines were synthesized using the title reaction, which occurs at ambient temperature, in the absence of oxidants or other metal salts, and in nonpolar solvents. A proposed mechanism involves imine‐directed activation of an aromatic CH bond, alkyne insertion, and carbocyclization by intramolecular imine insertion into Ru–alkenyl linkages.
