Abstract An alkylative cyclization of a 1, 6-enyne with aryl halides was performed with an amphiphilic polystyrene-poly (ethylene glycol)(PS-PEG) resin supported phosphine- palladium complex in water under heterogeneous conditions to give benzylidenecyclohexenes in good to high yields, which proceeds via formation of a vinylpalladium intermediate and subsequent intramolecular Heck reaction. The polymeric ...
