Palladium-catalysed cyclisation of N-alkynyl aminomalonates

摘要

Go around in (hetero)cycles! The palladium-catalysed tandem cyclisation/coupling reaction of alkynyl- and alkenyl-substituted aminomalonates leads to highly functionalised pyrrolidines and piperidines in good yield (see scheme). The reaction allows efficient access to a broad range of synthetically valuable building blocks.
