Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed intramolecular carbonylative annulation with phenyl formate as a CO source enables an efficient synthesis of 2-substituted indene-1,3(2H)-diones from stable and readily available 1-(2-halophenyl)-1,3-diones using K3PO4 as a base and DMSO as a solvent at 95 °C. The reaction offers a broad substrate scope with good to excellent yields.
