Palladium-catalysed ligand-free reductive Heck cycloisomerisation of 1,6-en-α-chloro-enamides

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Mar 26;55(26):3733-3736. doi: 10.1039/c9cc00537d.

Abstract

The first example of an intramolecular hydroarylation of 1,6-en-α-chloro-enamides was achieved by a palladium-catalysed ligand-free reductive Heck cycloisomerisation with no competing Heck-cyclised by-product.
