G. Dyker et P. Grundt, ANNULATED RING-SYSTEMS BY DOMINO-HECK-ALDOL-CONDENSATION AND DOMINO-HECK-MICHAEL-ADDITION PROCESSES, Tetrahedron letters, 37(5), 1996, pp. 619-622
A palladium catalyzed coupling-process of functionalized aryl bromides
with allylic alcohols results in 5-membered ring annulation, whereas
with homoallylic alcohols 6-membered rings are formed.
