AbstractA palladium(0)‐catalyzed reaction of 2‐allyl‐3‐indolyl boronates/propargylic carbonates was observed to afford dihydrocycloocta[b]indoles highly efficiently via carbon‐carbon coupling, [1,5]‐hydrogen migration involving dearomatization, and electrocyclization involving rearomatization. Their thermal reactions with the addition of dienophiles involving eletrocyclization and [4+2] cycloaddition have been studied.magnified image
