Pd-NHC catalyzed cyclopentannulation of diazabicyclic alkenes with ortho-aryl halides.
Pd-NHC catalyzed cyclopentannulation of diazabicyclic alkenes with ortho- functionalized aryl halides is described. In all the reactions, a single diastereomer of the cyclopentannulated product is observed, and this reaction is very efficient under microwave irradiation.
