Palladium catalyzed arylation reactions of meta photocycloadducts.
We describe the first application of a Heck arylation reaction being performed on a meta photocycloadduct. The resulting arylation/fragmentation process leads to the formation of a bridged bicyclic ketone and constitutes a dramatic increase in molecular complexity after just two synthetic operations.
