title: Chemo- and regioselective palladium-catalyzed oxycyclization reactions of allendiols: preparation of five-, six-, and eight-membered cycles.
abstract: Positive discrimination: Chemo- and regioselective palladium-catalyzed cycloetherification of allendiols, namely beta,gamma- and gamma,delta-allendiols, may occur by judicious choice of palladium-catalyzed conditions owing to their potential ability to discriminate between both nucleophilic sites (see scheme).
