Abstract

Intramolecular aminopalladation of alkynylamines gave intermediary alkenylpalladium compounds that hydrolyzed and isomerized to thermodynamically stable cyclic imines. Treatment of 3-alkynylamines with a catalytic amount of PdC1z (MeCN) z gave exclusively 1- pyrrolines in good yields; 5-alkynylamines afforded 2, 3, 4, 5-tetrahydropyidines selectively. Treatment of 4-alkynylamines with Pd (I1) afforded mixtures of both 5-and 6-membered ...
