Abstract

A cascade reaction to build vinyl cyclobutanol rings through activation of vinyl epoxides by palladium, followed by 1,4-Brook rearrangement and intramolecular cyclization with a palladium complex of the resulting carbon anion, is described. Through this cascade reaction, several highly substituted cyclobutanol substrates were achieved in good yields with high stereoselectivities.
