The Palladium-Catalysed Intramolecular Alder-ene (IMAE) Reactions of Certain Heteroatom-Linked 1,6-Enynes: The Formation of Hexahydro-Indoles and -Benzofurans

Abstrakt

A short review of the literature on palladium-catalysed intramolecular Alder-ene reactions of C-, N-, and O-linked 1,6-enynes is provided with a particular focus on the use of the latter two processes in the authors' laboratories for the purposes of constructing various alkaloids.
