title: Palladium-catalyzed selective carboelimination and cross-coupling reactions of benzocyclobutenols with aryl bromides.
abstract: The palladium-catalyzed selective β-carboelimination and cross-coupling chemistry of benzocyclobutenols is described. In contrast to the base-mediated ring-opening reactions of benzocyclobutenols, this variant proceeds with exclusive cleavage of the proximal bond.
