An ovel palladium(0)-catalyzed dearomatizing [2+ +2+ +1] spiroannulation of 1-bromo-2-naphthols with aryl iodides and alkynes was developed for the rapid assembly of spiro[indene-1,1'-naphthalen]-2'-ones.T his three-component cascade reaction was realized through consecutive Catellanitype C À Ha ctivation, unsymmetrical biaryl coupling,a lkyne migratory insertion, and arene dearomatization. The potential utility of our method is illustrated by the one-step construction of the polycyclic skeletons of dalesconols Aa nd Bf rom alkyne-tethered aryl iodides and 1-bromo-2-naphthol.Spirocyclicframeworks are commonly occurring structural motifs in many bioactive compounds [1] and have been used as core building blocks for awide range of functional materials [2] and chiral ligands. [3] Transition-metal-catalyzed dearomatization of aromatic systems,w hich offers unusual strategic disconnections,h ave proven to be ap owerful tool for accessing av ariety of challenging but synthetically valuable spirocyclic molecules. [4] Pioneering examples of transitionmetal-catalyzed dearomative spirocyclizations were realized by the groups of Hamada, [5] You, [6] Buchwald, [7] and Feringa [8] through an intramolecular design by using tethered phenol, [5, 6b, 7a] naphthol, [5, 6f-g, 7a,8] indole, [5b, 6a,c] or pyrrole [6d-e] derivatives to avoid the unwanted heteroatom alkylation/arylation or Friedel-Crafts-type reaction pathway.H owever, further advancement of this intramolecular strategy for building other diversified spirocylces has been dramatically limited, in part due to the need for high-cost substrates that often require multistep synthesis.I nt his context, substantial efforts have been focused on the development of more atom-and stepeconomical intermolecular processes.V ery recently,we, [9] and the groups of Gulías and MascareÇas, [10] Lam, [11] and You [12] have independently demonstrated Ru II -a nd Rh III -catalyzed dearomatizing [3+ +2] spiroannulations of phenol-derived biaryls with alkynes through aC ÀHb ond activation approach. Soon afterwards,anon-oxidative version was enabled by Pd 0 catalysis. [13] Moreover,t he potent strategy of palladium-catalyzed two-component dearomative cyclization [14] allowed the direct use of phenol diazonium salts,h alophenols, halonaphthalenes,n aphthols,a nd N-aryl ureas as onecarbon synthons to react with two equivalents of alkynes, thereby leading to various spirocarbocylces.M eanwhile,t he pursuit of Pd 0 -catalyzed dearomative spirocyclizations of indole derivatives with as econd reactant has also seen significant progress. [15] Despite these elegant achievements on two-component processes,t he discovery of related annulations with three distinct starting materials to assemble complex spirocyclic frameworks still remains af ormidable challenge. [16] Herein we disclose aP d 0 -catalyzed dearomatizing [2+ +2+ +1] spiroannulation of readily available bromonaphthols with aryl iodides and alkynes for the one-step direct assembly of spiro[indene-1,1'-naphthalen]-2'-ones (Scheme 1).This wo...
