Abstract

Tuning the reactivity of arylpalladium intermediates enables 5-exo and 6-endo cyclizations of alkynols. These palladium-catalyzed reactions offer a divergent synthesis of oxygen-containing heterocycles, which are of synthetic use for further derivatization. Formal synthesis of an hNK-1 receptor antagonist also showcases the utility this arylative cyclization.
