containing a pending isocyanide moiety under palladium catalysis, has been developed. This process involves sequential intermolecular isocyanide insertion to an aryl palladium(II) intermediate and intramolecular aromatic C–H activation as key steps. Alkyl palladium(II) intermediate lacking β-hydrogen is also applicable to this reaction, generating unique bisheterocyclic scaffolds with three C–C bonds being
functionalization of fullerenes has been an important topic in fullerene chemistry. Herein, an unprecedented Pd-catalyzed migration reaction of [60]fullerene with allyloxy-tethered aryl iodides is present for the preparation of novel [60]fullerene-fused allylbenzofurans. The use of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (DPPBz) as a ligand is crucial for the success of the transformation. The reaction shows high
