Abstract

An intramolecular, Pd-catalyzed C-H alkylation of arenes and heteroarenes is successful with various unactivated primary and secondary alkyl halides, including those with β-hydrogens. The mild, catalytic reaction conditions are highly functional group tolerant and facilitate access to a broad range of synthetically and medicinally interesting carbocyclic and heterocyclic systems.
