A new practical method for the synthesis of N-fused heterocycles via the transition metal-catalyzed cycloisomerization of heterocyles possessing a propagyl group has been developed. This very mild, base- and ligand-free method allows for the synthesis of diverse fused heterocyclic cores in good to excellent yields.
