Carboxylate-Assisted Pd(II)-Catalyzed ortho-C–H and Remote C–H Activation: Economical Synthesis of Pyrano[4,3-b]Indol-1(5H)-ones

An original Pd(II)-catalyzed domino two C−H activations strategy has been designed to synthesize pyrano[4,3b]indol-1(5H)-one motifs from inexpensive and commercially available olefins and heteroaromatic acids by carboxylate-directed sequential ortho-C−H alkenylation and remote C−H lactonization. Importantly, this protocol overcomes the selectivity for carboxylic acids with acrylates of the conventional Michael addition-type process. Preliminary studies of mechanism indicate that both aryl and olefinlic C−H activations may participate in this catalytic system.
