Palladacycle-catalyzed cascade reaction of bicyclic alkenes with alkynyl imines: synthesis of polycyclic 5H-benzo[b]azepines

Abstract

A new methodology to prepare a six–seven membered ring [4,5,0] heterobicyclic system has been developed <italic>via</italic> a palladacycle-catalyzed cascade reaction of bicyclic alkenes and alkynyl imines.
