title: The Pd-catalyzed synthesis of benzofused carbo- and heterocycles through carbene migratory insertion/carbopalladation cascades with tosylhydrazones.
abstract: The Pd-catalyzed reaction between o-iodoallylbenzene and tosylhydrazones gives rise to indene derivatives through a process that involves a carbene migratory insertion followed by an intramolecular carbopalladation, with the formation of two C-C bonds on the same carbon atom. The same strategy has also been applied for the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted benzofurans and indenones by selecting the appropriate o-substituted iodoarene.
