The first synthesis of substituted fluorenones directly frombenzaldehydes and aryl iodides via a Pd(II)-catalyzed C(sp2)-H functionalization cascade is reported. Featuring anthranilic acid as an inexpensive transient directing group, the process is compatible with a variety of benzaldehydes and aryl iodides. A three-step synthesis of the antiviral drug Tilorone was completed in an excellent overall
