Abstract:The regiocontrol in constructing benzo-fused five-membered rings by C−H cyclization remains an important challenge. We report a highly general and regioselective methodology to access such heterocycles and indenones, where under the catalysis of CoBr 2 /bipyridine, aryl titanates, alkynes and EX 2 (E = NR, S(O), RP(O), R 2 Si, CO, etc.) were assembled to various heterocycles and indenones in a modular manner. Unprecedented 1,2-Co/Ti heterobimetallic arylene and benzotitanole intermediates have played crucial r… Show more
