The methylenindene scaffold can be prepared from readily available gem-dibromoolefins using an efficient palladium-catalyzed tandem intermolecular Suzuki/intramolecular Heck reaction. The reaction is highly modular and proceeds under mild conditions. The choice of ligand was found to be crucial to control the selectivity of the reaction.
