Abstract

The Pd(0)-catalyzed polycyclizations 1 → 3 + 4, 5 → 9 and 6 → 10 are described. The stereospecifity of these transformations is ascribed to an intramolecular suprafacial “palladium-ene” process followed by one to two “Heck-insertions” proceeding with retention of configuration at the metalated carbon.
