Abstract

Abstract : The targeted combination of experimental and in silico techniques permitted a good understanding of key mechanistic aspects of the one‐pot synthesis of a large class of indoles from alkynes and aryl azides, which was efficiently catalyzed by ruthenium bis‐imido porphyrin complexes. The cover aims to highlight the efficiency of the symbiotic approach, which may help optimizing the sustainable production of valuable fine‐chemicals.
