One-Step Synthesis of Indoloquinoline Alkaloids via the Pd-Catalyzed Larock/Ligand-Accelerated C–H Activation Cascade Reaction

]quinolinone in a one-pot fashion. This transformation for the construction of 2-amidoindole relies on the Pd-catalyzed Larock reaction, which then forms a C-N bond to afford indoloquinoline via ligand-enabled Pd-catalyzed C-H activation.
