The first example of a Pd-catalyzed intramolecular arylation involving the C-2 position of an imidazole ring is presented. Application of this reaction led to the formation of 5H-imidazo[2,1-a]isoindole in one step from N-benzyl-2-iodoimidazole. Microwave irradiation enhanced the rate of reaction allowing the synthesis of various imidazo[2,1-a]isoindole analogues. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
