Abstract

Abstract Efficient annulation of vic-diborylalkenes and-arenes with vic-bromo (bromomethyl) arenes has been achieved, using Pd (PPh 3) 4 as a catalyst in the presence of Cs 2 CO 3 and water in THF at 60 C, giving rise to the corresponding indene and fluorene derivatives in good to high yields.
