Several strategies have been developed for the synthesis nitrogen heterocycles from
aryl bromides bearing pendant carbonyl functionality. For example, microwavepromoted acylation of primary amines or anilines followed by intramolecular
N-arylation of the resulting amides was employed for the construction of oxindoles
(Eq. 54) [292]. Intermolecular amidation of 2
0 -bromoacetophenone derivatives
followed by base mediated intramolecular condensation has been used to generate
4-quinolones (Eq. 55) [293]. The preparation of 2-quinolones has been achieved via a
cascade intermolecular Heck arylation/intramolecular N-arylation sequence between
o-bromocinnamide and aryl iodides [294]. The synthesis of quinazolinediones via
a tandem acylation/Pd-catalyzed N-arylation reaction between o-halobenzoates and
monoalkylureas has also been described [295]. An interesting cascade reaction involving Pd-catalyzed C–C and C–N bond formation effects the conversion of
2-bromobenzamide derivatives (2 equiv) to phenanthridones (Eq. 56) [296].

Our group has developed cascade Pd-catalyzed N-arylation/alkene carboamination
reactions of 2-allylanilines that afford indoline products [297, 298]. For example,
