Synthesis of Substituted Benzoxacycles via a Pd(II)‐Catalyzed Intramolecular Arylation Reaction of Allylic Alcohols

Abstract

Herein a Pd‐catalyzed intramolecular allylation reaction of unprotected allylic alcohols was developed, and the reaction proceeded through a Pd(II)‐mediated allylic carbocation species formation, followed by a Friedel‐Crafts type annulation to afford functionalized chromanes.
