Substituted indenol moieties are an important structural unit present in various biologically active compounds that possess analgesic, insecticidal, and myorelaxation properties.[1, 2] Despite the high utility of indenols, only few synthetic routes are reported in the literature.[2, 3–6] Transition-metal-catalyzed carbocyclization is a powerful method for the construction of indenol derivatives in organic synthesis.[7] In this context, Liebeskind etal. reported a ...
