TLDR
The dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (PdCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 1 )-tin(II) chloride (SnCl 2 ) system showed high catalytic activity for the reductive N-heterocyclization of various 2-nitrostyrene and N-(2-nitrobenzylidene)amine derivatives when employed at 100 o C for 16 h under 20 kg cm -2 of initial carbon monoxide pressure, to give the corresponding indole and 2H-indazole derivatives in
Abstract
The dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (PdCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 1 )-tin(II) chloride (SnCl 2 ) system shows high catalytic activity for the reductive N-heterocyclization of various 2-nitrostyrene and N-(2-nitrobenzylidene)amine derivatives when employed at 100 o C for 16 h under 20 kg cm -2 of initial carbon monoxide pressure, to give the corresponding indole and 2H-indazole derivatives in good yield. For example, 2-phenylindole was obtained in 75% yield from the reductive N-heterocyclization of 2-nitrostilbene

TL;DR: The use of CO as a reductant had been in the past confined to few reactions, but its use in organic synthesis, especially in the reductive carbonylation of nitro aromatics and the oxidative carbonylations of aromatic amines, has increased dramatically as mentioned in this paper.
