Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and cycloadditions as well as electrocyclic transformations can efficiently be combined in one-pot sequences to build up complex molecular skeletons from simple precursors. The intermolecular Heck reaction of alkenyl halides with alkenes leads to 1,3-butadienes prone to undergo subsequent Diels–Alder reactions. Frequently, special precautions have to be taken in order to avoid a domino reaction in which the alkene acts as both coupling partner and dienophile if a cycloaddition with a different alkene is desired. This can comprise a careful adjustment of the reaction conditions or the use of bicyclopropylidene (37) or allenes which are highly reactive in Heck reactions but poor dienophiles. Another domino transformation consists of an intramolecular cross coupling followed by either an inter- or intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition. These processes typically occur with complete chemoselectivity and formation of two or even three new rings, respectively. When combining cross-coupling cascades with 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, interesting heterocyclic compounds can be obtained, however, only a few of such domino reactions have been realized. Finally, the preparation of 1,3,5-hexatrienes is achieved by a variety of palladium-catalyzed transformations and these compounds can smoothly undergo 6π-electrocyclizations to give various oligocyclic skeletons.
