C-H Bond Functionalizations with Palladium(II): Intramolecular Oxidative Annulations of Arenes.
Oxidative annulations for the synthesis of carbocycles were developed using a catalytic palladium(II) system. Indoles with pendant olefin tethers were oxidatively cyclized to form annulated products.… Expand
