Abstract

An annulation reaction proceeding by the intermolecular addition of an arylpalladium (II) halide across a strained alkene, followed by an intramolecular CH functionalization of a pendant heterocycle is described. A variety of polycyclic heterocycles have been prepared from readily accessible haloaryl heterocycles by annulation with a range of strained alkene partners.
