EMM-Promoted Pd-Catalyzed Solid State Intramolecular Heck-Type Cyclization/Boronation and Suzuki Couplings: Access to Functionalized Indolines

EMM (electromagnetic mill)-promoted Pd-catalyzed solid state intramolecular Heck-type cyclization/boronation and Suzuki couplings are reported. Compared to previous mechanochemistry that constructed one chemical bond through a cross-coupling reaction, this strategy realizes cascade transformation along with multiple chemical bond formation. This conversion does not require organic solvents or additional heating, and it shows a good substrate scope and high functional group tolerance.
