Pd-catalyzed alkyl to aryl migration and cyclization: An efficient synthesis of fused polycycles via multiple C-H activation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja047980y

A novel palladium migration methodology for the synthesis of complex fused polycycles has been developed. This process involves 1,4-palladium alkyl to aryl migrations via through-space C-H activation, followed by intramolecular arylation or an intermolecu
