A Conjunctive Carboiodination: Indenes by a Double Carbopalladation–Reductive Elimination Domino Process

Abstract

Something gained, nothing lost: A Pd0-catalyzed domino intermolecular/intramolecular process terminated by carbohalogenation is reported. In this reaction, two new CC bonds, one new CI bond and one five-membered ring are formed in a single step, and all of the atoms in the starting materials are incorporated into the product (see scheme).
