Transition metal-catalyzed activation of CH and CC bond has been emerged as a powerful method to the formation of carbon-carbon bonds to access a valuable product. Recently we developed a new method to synthesis of biologically active Fluorenones by Palladium-catalyzed dual CH activation and heck cyclization 1-2. Herein we disclose a palladium catalyzed novel and efficient method to synthesis of diarymethylidenes and phenanthrenes derivatives by multiple CH bond functionalization, CC bond formation and heck type cyclization will be discussed in detail 3.
