An aerobic [2 + 2 + 2] cyclization via chloropalladation: From 1,6-diynes and acrylates to substituted aromatic carbocycles
A Pd-catalyzed aerobic [2 + 2 + 2] cyclization of 1,6-diynes and acrylates proceeding through a chloropalladation process has been developed. Polysubstituted five-membered aromatic carbocycles/heterocycles were obtained in good to excellent yields. The re
