Abstract

The Catellani reaction is a domino reaction catalysed by palladium/norbornene. It can be used for the synthesis of a range of aromatic compounds in one step, and is of great interest in the synthesis of natural products and drugs. In this paper, we report a palladium/norbornene‐catalysed ortho‐acylation/ipso‐Suzuki coupling reaction of aryl iodides using acyl chlorides as acylating agents and arylboronic acids as quenching reagents. The reactions were carried out using readily available starting materials, and ortho‐aryl benzophenones were obtained in moderate to good yields. Compared with previous Catellani reactions, this reaction has a wider substrate scope, shorter reaction times, and higher yields of the target compounds.
