Abstract
Treatment of alkynes with o-methoxycarbonylphenylboronic acid in the presence of a cobalt catalyst resulted in the corresponding 2,3-disubstituted indenones in good yields. Excellent regioselectivities were observed, when silyl aryl alkynes were used. The intermediate 3-silyl-2-aryl-substituted indenones were converted to 2,3-diaryl indenones by a three-step protocol involving C-Si bromination and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.
