ZrCl4-promoted facile synthesis of indole derivatives

Zirconium(IV) chloride effectively activates nitrogen (N2) extrusion from aryl azidoacrylates followed by annulation to provide the desired indole products in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeds at low temperature and in short reaction time and is applicable to a variety of substrates.
