Abstract
We have demonstrated a Pd(0)-catalyzed Heck/C(sp3)-H activation cascade for the synthesis of spirocyclopropyl oxindoles in high yields from easily accessible ortho-bromoacrylamides. The formation of spirocyclopropyl oxindole is guided by an unconventional four-membered palladacycle through C(sp3)-H activation. The reaction exhibits a wide range of substrate scope and operates efficiently with a mere 0.5 mol % of Pd-catalyst. In addition, the use of microwave conditions facilitates rapid completion of the reaction. Furthermore, this spirocyclopropanation strategy can be coupled with [3 + 2] cycloaddition to produce spiropyrrolidine oxindoles, offering a valuable approach for the preparation of alkaloids such as (±)-horsfiline and (±)-coerulescine.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed divergent cascade decarboxylative annulation of aryl iodides and α-oxocarboxylic acids using norbornene (NBE) derivatives as a controlled switch is reported. When NBE is used as a mediator, fluorenones are synthesized with moderate to excellent yields via a Catellani reaction that involves sequential ortho-C-H arylation and ipso-decarboxylative acylation of aryl iodides. Employing oxanorbornadiene (ONBD) instead of NBE enables the assembly of dibenzo[a,c]cycloheptenones by a retro-Diels-Alder reaction rather than the release of an ONBD. Additionally, the synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by the diversification of the products.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed multicomponent cascade reaction of aryl iodides, oxanorbornadiene, and diborns to access (Z)-alkenylborons is reported. This transformation proceeds through the sequential carbopalladation/boronation/retro-Diels-Alder domino reaction. The oxanorbornadiene used in this reaction serves as an acetylene surrogate, which is generated via a retro-Diels-Alder reaction. Such a stereoselective and scalable approach has a wide range of functional group tolerance and good substrate universality.
