Abstract
(Matrix presented) Palladium[0]-mediated Ullmann cross-coupling of o-halonitrobenzene (1) and various related nitroarenes with a range of α-halo-enones (e.g., 2) or -enals readily affords the expected α-arylenones, e.g., 3, or -enals, which are converted into the corresponding indoles, e.g., 4, on reaction with dihydrogen in the presence of Pd on C.
