title: Pd(OAc)(2)-catalyzed Domino reactions of 1-chloro-2-haloarenes and 2-haloaryl tosylates with hindered Grignard reagents via palladium-associated arynes.
abstract: The palladium-associated aryne generation strategy and Pd(OAc)(2)-catalyzed annulative Domino reactions of 1-chloro-2-halobenzenes and 2-haloaryl tosylates with hindered Grignard reagents via palladium-associated arynes are described. The palladium-associated aryne generation strategy described here not only allows the high yield, one-step access to potentially useful substituted fluorenes from readily available 1-chloro-2-halobenzenes and 2-haloaryl tosylates, but may also lead to the development of other tandem reactions based on these readily available ortho leaving group bearing haloarenes.
