Abstract

Abstract“Through space” palladium/hydrogen shift is an efficient strategy to achieve selective functionalization of a specific remote C−H bond. Compared with relatively extensive exploited 1,4‐palladium migration process, the relevant 1,5‐Pd/H shift was far less investigated. We herein report a novel 1,5‐Pd/H shift pattern between a vinyl and an acyl group. Through the pattern, rapid access to 5‐membered‐dihydrobenzofuran and indoline derivatives has been achieved. Further studies have unveiled an unprecedented trifunctionalization (vinylation, alkynylation and amination) of a phenyl ring through 1,5‐palladium migration relayed decarbonylative Catellani type reaction. A series of mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations have provided insights into the reaction pathway. Notably, it was unveiled that the 1,5‐palladium migration in our case prefers a stepwise mechanism involving a PdIV intermediate.
