Carbopalladation of nitriles: Synthesis of benzocyclic ketones and cyclopentenones via Pd-catalyzed cyclization of ω-(2-iodoaryl)alkanenitriles and related compounds
An efficient procedure for the synthesis of 2,2-disubstituted benzocyclic ketones by intramolecular carbopalladation of nitriles has been developed. The cyclization of substituted 3-(2-iodoaryl)-propanenitriles affords indanones in high yields. The reaction is compatible with a wide variety of functional groups. This methodology has been extended to the synthesis of tetralones and cyclopentenones.
