Skeletal Reorganisation of Cyclobutanones: We for the first time demonstrates that Pd-catalyst is also capable of cleaving C(carbonyl)−C bonds of cyclobutanones via oxidative addition. According to Pd-catalyzed condition, the skeletal reorganisation of cyclobutanones invoving successive cleavage of C(carbonyl)−C bonds and C−H bond cleavage proceeds smoothly to deliver diverse indanones..
