Synthesis of Substituted Benzoxacycles via a Pd(<scp>II</scp>)‐Catalyzed Intramolecular Arylation Reaction of Allylic Alcohols

Abstract

Herein a Pd‐catalyzed intramolecular allylation reaction of unprotected allylic alcohols was developed, and the reaction proceeded through a Pd( II )‐mediated allylic carbocation species formation, followed by a Friedel‐Crafts type annulation to afford functionalized chromanes.
