We report the synthesis of bimetallic Pd(I) and Pd(II) complexes with bidentate 2-phosphinoimidazole ligands and their catalytic activity to generate substituted naphthalenes. This process involves the coupling of an aryl iodide and 2 equiv of a ketone via sequential ketone α-arylation and then annulation to generate disubstituted and tetrasubstituted naphthalenes in a regioselective manner. Excellent
(o-ethynylphenyl)acetyl chloride with design of a new synthetic strategy by Stillecoupling using functionalized organostannanes. The method affords excellent yields of the substituted naphthalenes and accommodates a wide variety of functional groups under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies show intramolecular cyclization as a major step following C–C bond coupling.
