Abstract

The Pd[0]-catalyzed Ullmann cross-coupling of o-nitrohaloarenes 1a-e with the brominated heterocycles 2a-f delivers the expected products 3a-j in good to excellent yields The reductive cyclization of such products as well as N-acyl derivatives 3k I and m has been investigated and provided the C-3 mono-substituted oxindoles 5a-d f g k and m the direct reduction products 41 and J or indole 51
