Abstract

The first Pd-catalyzed tandem cyclization of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with 2-chlorobenzaldehydes through C-H arylation and acylation is presented for the efficient synthesis of novel 6H-benzo[b]imidazo[5,1,2-de]quinolizin-6-ones. The direct acylation reaction proceeded smoothly without the aid of directing groups and in the presence of air as a clean and free terminal oxidant.
