Abstract
Lithium triflate-promoted (3 + 2) cycloaddition reactions of palladium-oxyallyl species with 1,3-dienes provide cyclopentanones via a pathway terminated with C-C bond formation. Furthermore, by tuning the steric properties of the palladium ligand, the competing (4 + 3) cycloadditions enable regiodivergent access to cycloheptanones.
