By palladium catalysis substituted ortho-iodoanisoles (5, 8, 10, 13) a
re transformed either to annulated pyran (6) or furan derivatives (7,
9, 11, 14, 15), depending on the reactivity of additional substituents
. The regiochemistry of the domino coupling processes is analyzed and
a mechanistic rationale developed. Key step is the C-H activation at m
ethoxy groups.
