Palladium-catalyzed β-carbon elimination for selective synthesis of diverse heterocyclic skeletons has been a persistent challenge. Here, the authors achieve switchable chemoselective synthesis of C4-carbamoylated indoles and C10-aminophenanthridinones by controlling β-carbon elimination using chlorocarbamates.
