Synthesis of isatins by the palladium-catalyzed intramolecular acylation of unactivated aryl C(sp2)–H bonds
Abstract
Synthesis of isatins from formyl-N-arylformamides is achieved via PdCl2-catalyzed intramolecular acylation. This method shows the possibility of Pd-catalyzed aryl C(sp2)–H bond activation on the synthesis of isatins, affording an array of isatins in good yields. Yet this protocol is operationally simple and atom economical.
