Abstract
Pd-catalyzed intramolecular cyclizations of oxime esters with 1,2-dialkylated alkenes provide an entry to dihydropyrroles. Substrate and catalyst controlled strategies for selective product formation are outlined.

Note
In earlier work, we outlined further the scope of the oxime ester R-group for cyclizations of this type (ACIE, 2012, 1675); a wide range of alkyl- and aryl-substituents were tolerated. The present manuscript explores the scope of 1,2-disubstituted alkene acceptors.
