O. Barberan et al., Synthesis of E- and Z-substituted methylene-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyrans by regio- and stereocontrolled palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization, TETRAHEDR L, 42(14), 2001, pp. 2657-2659
A stereocontrolled synthetic approach to E- and Z-substituted methylene-3.4
-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyrans 5 is described from acyclic derivatives using as
a key step the palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclic carbopalladation o
f iodoalkynes 4 followed by a carbonylation or a hydride ion capture proces
