Abstract
The palladium catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling reaction of indolylbor ates (2) with vinyl triflates (3) afforded indol-2-yl ketones (4), which we re subsequently converted to hexahydroindeno[2,1-b]indoles (5) with the aid of an acid. This protocol was well adapted for the total synthesis of yueh chukene.
