Cascade palladium-catalyzed direct intramolecular arylation/alkene isomerization sequences: synthesis of indoles and benzofurans.
One route, two cycles: A palladium-catalyzed intramolecular direct arylation reaction combined with an isomerization step provided a straightforward synthetic route to both indoles and benzofurans (see scheme). Isolation and functionalization of intermediate alkene isomers allowed the formation of v...
