Palladium-catalyzed, heteroatom assisted, regioselective cyclizations.
Unusual Pd-catalyzed cyclizations of unsymmetrical allylic acetates, where the nucleophile is tethered to the central allyl carbon, are shown for the first time to be remarkably controlled by heteroatom-mediated preassociation of the reacting partners.
