The direct palladium‐catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of o ‐alkynylbiaryls proceeded in a highly stereoselective manner producing fluorenes 2 , the products of 5‐ exo‐dig cyclization, in excellent yields. The cascade intermolecular arylation, incorporated in this transformation, allowed for the efficient synthesis of fully substituted fluorenes 12 . These cyclizations proceed more rapidly with electron‐deficient benzene rings which, in combination with a substantial isotope effect observed, strongly supports a CH activation mechanism for the key annulation step.
