Abstract:
A palladium-catalyzed dearomative reaction of indoles has been developed through a domino Heck/gem-difluorovinylation sequence. By taking advantage of a difluorocarbene precursor (ClCF2COONa), the palladium difluorocarbene ([Pd][double bond, length as m-dash]CF2) species was formed smoothly. Then, a migratory insertion/β-H elimination process enabled access to polycyclic indolines containing 1,1-difluoroethylene units in acceptable yields with a broad substrate scope, which also showed dearomative gem-difluorovinylation for the first time. Remarkably, the superb diversified transformations allowed the product to install various functional groups.

Conformation
The simplest example of a diene is 1,3-butadiene, an acyclic conjugated π system. At room temperature, the molecule exists as a mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformers by virtue of rotation around the carbon–carbon single bond. Although the s-trans isomer is...
