ChemInform Abstract: Highly Chemo- and Regioselective Construction of Spirocarbocycles by a Pd(0)-Catalyzed Dearomatization of Phenol-Based Biaryls with 1,3-Dienes.
The title reaction involves a sequence of oxidative addition to the C—I bond, regioselective olefin insertion, and allylative dearomatization to form spirocyclic products in moderate to good yields.
