We have disclosed a very nice advance of nickel(II)-catalyzed carboannulation reactions. Highly substituted indene derivatives are readily prepared in moderate to excellent yields under very mild reaction conditions in air via a nickel (II)-catalyzed cyclization of propargylic compounds with soft nucleophiles.
The palladium-catalyzed carboannulation and arylation reaction of propargylic carbonates with in situ generated organozinc compounds produced an important new class of indene derivatives. The reaction proceeded under mild conditions, and indene products were isolated in good to excellent yields.
