A facile gold-catalyzed oxidation of terminal alkynes for the construction of 1 H-pyrrolo[1,2- a]indol-2(3- H)-ones is reported. Under relatively simple procedures, various 1 H-pyrrolo[1,2- a]indol-2(3- H)-ones derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields, thus providing an efficient route for the construction of 1 H-pyrrolo[1,2- a]indol-2(3- H)-ones derivatives.
