Synthesis of indeno[1,2-b]indole derivatives through one-pot sequential or two-step iodine-catalyzed c-o activation and palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization

摘要

An efficient route for the synthesis of indeno[1,2-b]indoles as tetracyclic derivatives of indole bearing 2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine moieties through one-pot sequential or two-step iodine-catalyzed C-O activation and palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization is reported.
