A practical and effective palladium-catalyzed C-H activation/alkene insertion/annulation has been reported for the synthesis of furans and cyclopropanes from cyclic 1,3-diketones or 1,3-indandione and diverse alkenes, resulting in moderate to good yields. This protocol demonstrates excellent selectivity and is well-compatible with a wide range of alkene substrates, exhibiting exceptional regioselectivities, high efficiency, and good functional group tolerance.
