title: Formation of five-membered carbocycles by intramolecular palladium-catalyzed ring opening of tert-cyclobutanols.
abstract: We report herein stereoselective formation of a functionalized five-membered carbocycle bearing a quaternary center by intramolecular palladium-catalyzed ring-opening of o-bromophenyl-tethered tert-cyclobutanols.
