An efficient and straightforward synthesis of 1-amino-1H-indenes is reported from 1,2-bis(boronates) via a sequential Suzuki–Miyaura coupling/Petasis cyclization reaction. Starting from the same monoboronic ester intermediates, an intermolecular version of this approach also afforded (Z)-α,β-unsaturated amino esters in moderate to good yields.
