The palladium-catalysed amination reaction has found widespread application in the construction of heterocycles, as well as in natural-product synthesis.8 However, to the best of our knowledge, this reaction has never been used for fluorazone synthesis. In this paper, we report a one-pot process consisting of a detosylation and a palladium-catalysed intramolecular amination reaction of 2-bromophenyl N-tosyl-2-pyrrolyl ketones 1 for the synthesis of fluorazones 2 ( ...
