A robust bulky bornylimidazo[1,5–a]pyridin-3-ylidene allylic Pd complex was synthesized and well characterized. DFT calculations indicated that the ligand acts as a strong σ-donor and π-acceptor endowing the active Pd(0) center with high electron density and good coordination towards olefin. The introduction of a bulky, rigid bornyl ring further improved the catalytic efficacy due to the matched steric effects. This catalyst showed high efficiency and versatility in the α-arylation and Heck cyclization/Suzuki cross-coupling reactions at mild reaction conditions. Desired 3,3′-disubstituted oxindoles, especially featuring an allylic-derived C3-quaternary stereocenter were obtained in high yields. Furthermore, the concise synthesis of bioactive heterocycle-fused indoline alkaloids was successfully proved.
