Heck reaction arene analogs, intramolecular reactions

In addition to the several reports of intermolecular Fujiwara-Moritani reactions, there have been a nnmber of examples of intramolecular reactions, both stoichiometric and catalytic in palladinm. In considering an intramolecular oxidative Heck reaction, one can again draw a direct analogy to the classical Heck reaction (Figure 9.3). In the standard Heck reaction, a halogenated arene nndergoes an oxidative addition by palladium(0), followed by alkene insertion and jS-hydride elimination. In an oxidative version, a C—H bond of...
