Graphical Abstract

One after the other: A novel palladium-catalyzed domino reaction consisting of an amination and a direct C
H bond arylation allows for a general synthesis of annulated heterocycles starting from readily available 1,2-dichloroarenes and primary as well as secondary anilines (see scheme; Cy=cyclohexyl). This is highlighted by an efficient synthesis of the natural product murrayafoline A.
