Preparation of Triazoloindoles via Tandem Copper Catalysis and Their Utility as α‑Imino Rhodium Carbene Precursors

3-Sulfonyl­[1,2,3]­triazolo­[4,5-<i>b</i>]­indoles were efficiently prepared via a tandem catalysis process involving intramolecular ligand stabilized CuAAC and Cu-catalyzed C–N coupling. The obtained 3-sulfonyl­[1,2,3]­triazolo­[4,5-<i>b</i>]­indoles could be utilized as α-imino rhodium carbene precursors for the construction of a range of valuable indole molecules including pyrrolo­[2,3-<i>b</i>]­indoles, spirocyclopropyl iminoindoles, 2,3-dihydropyrrolo­[2,3-<i>b</i>]­indoles, 3,3′-biindoles, and 2,3′-biindoles
