Abstract

Bulky phosphite L6 and several sterically robust phosphoramidites are excellent ligands for promoting the Pd-catalyzed [3+ 2] intramolecular cycloaddition between alkylidenecyclopropanes and alkynes. The use of these ligands allows for low catalyst loadings and facilitates the otherwise sluggish cycloaddition of hept-6- ynylidenecyclopropane systems.
