Abstract
Site-selective activation of a particular remote C-H bond in molecules with multiple C-H bonds remains challenging in organic synthesis. In addition, evolving such transformations via the utilization of unconventional techniques is highly desirable. We demonstrated hitherto unexplored double bond geometry-guided and end-on nitrile-template-assisted meta-C-H functionalization of indene enoate esters under microwave-accelerated conditions. Significantly, the strategy exhibited broad compatibility concerning the substrates and olefin coupling partners. Remarkably, drug diversification has also been showcased.
