Abstract

Catalytic formation of fluorene has been achieved from 2-phenylbenzyl trifluoroacetate via successive C–O and C–H bond cleavage reactions by Pd(OAc)<sub>2</sub>/PPh<sub>3</sub> in 97% yield. This reaction involves the oxidative addition of ester to give (carboxylato)(2-phenylbenzyl)palladium(II) species and deprotonation from the 2-phenylbenzyl group by the cleaved carboxylato group via an internal electrophilic substitution mechanism
