Abstract
N,N-Dimethylaminomethyl ferrocenium could be generated in situ and served as a terminal oxidant for Pd-catalyzed directly dehydrogenative annulations of N,N-dimethylaminomethyl ferrocene and internal alkynes. This procedure utilized the redox activity of ferrocene and avoided adding an oxidant. A series of highly arylated naphthalenes functionalized by ferrocene were obtained in 53-81% yields.
