Palladium(0)-catalyzed methylenecyclopropanation of norbornenes with vinyl bromides.
Highly strained methylenecyclopropane derivatives have been achieved via a novel and efficient Pd(0)-catalyzed domino reaction. The formal [2 + 1] cycloaddition reaction of vinyl bromides to norbornenes involves a Heck-type coupling and a C(sp(2))-H bond activation.
