Abstract
A tandem sequential reaction 2-bromoarylnitriles with a Reformatsky reagent (Blaise reaction), followed by Pd-catalyzed intramolecular aminocarbonylation with carbon monoxide at 1 atm pressure provides (Z)-3-methyleneisoindolin-1-ones. The conformational flexibility of the bisphophine ligand is of great importance to the success of this tandem aminocarbonylation reaction.
