Diverse 11H-indeno[1,2-c]quinolines are produced via a palladium-catalyzed three-component reaction of 2-alkynylbromobenzene, 2-alkynylaniline, and electrophile. This conversion tolerates a wide variety of functionality and substitution patterns on the 11H-indeno[1,2-c]quinoline ring.

Four generations of chemoenzymatic approaches to oseltamivir are presented. The first two generations relied on the use of cyclohexadiene-cis-diol derived enzymatically from bromobenzene. The third and fourth generation used the corresponding diol obtained from ethyl benzoate by fermentation with E.
