The cationic iridium complex ([Ir(cod)2]OTf + racBINAP) efficiently catalyzed a sequential process of ortho-C-H bond functionalization, cyclization and dehydration, leading to a concise preparation of 1 -methylene indene (benzofulvene) derivatives. The iridium complex operated as a catalyst in the ortho-C-H bond alkenylation of aryl ketones with alkynes and as a Lewis acid catalyst in the cyclization of the alkenylated product and the subsequent dehydration.
