Org Lett. 2003 Oct 2;5(20):3645-8. doi: 10.1021/ol035304f.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] A Pd(0)-catalyzed 1,6-enyne cyclization-arylation cascade reaction was effected via pi-allylpalladium intermediate formation and subsequent Suzuki coupling to give cyclic products with stereodefined exocyclic double bonds.
