A palladium-catalyzed dearomatizing difunctionalization of N-Boc-indoles and benzofurans to give tricyclic indolines and 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans with a fully substituted carbon center is described. Product formation occurs under mild conditions at room temperature with commercially available aryl boronic acids and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) as a mild oxidant in good yields. 2-Carboxyalkyl-substituted indoles and benzofurans react under Pd-catalysis with aryl boronic acids and TEMPO through dearomatizing arylation/cyclization to the corresponding indolines and dihydrobenzofurans containing a lactone moiety bearing a fully substituted carbon center.
