Synthesis of tricyclic heterocyclic mols. I [R = 5-F, 5-Me, 5-CF3, etc.; R1 = Me, Et, Bn, etc.] with a free carboxylic group in a high atom- and step-economical manner via palladium-catalyzed [3+2] annulation of substituted benzoic acids with maleimides was described. The reaction proceeded via a dual C-H bond activation such as C(sp3)-H at the benzylic position and C(sp2)-H bond activation at the meta position of substituted aromatics An external ligand (MPAA) was crucial for the success of present protocol. Further, the decarboxylation and esterification of the free carboxylic acid group of observed products were carried out.
