A highly efficient and operationally simple palladium-catalyzed formal [4 + 1] annulation reaction has been developed. The reaction is featured by the formation of two different C-C bonds on a carbenic center. It represents a concise method for the synthesis of a wide range of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 1H-indenes with easily available (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane as the carbene source. Metal carbene migratory insertion and C(sp2)-H bond activation are proposed as the key steps in this transformation. The reaction further demonstrates the versatility of the carbene-based coupling in combination with various transition-metal-catalyzed transformations.
