title: Synthesis of biindolizines through highly regioselective palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization.
abstract: Biindolizines were synthesized under mild conditions with excellent regioselectivity in high yields through palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization of indolizines. Synthesis of a macrocyclic compound was also achieved via intramolecular double C-H functionalization.
