Arylative Ring Expansion of 3-Vinylazetidin-3-Ols and 3-Vinyloxetan-3-Ols to Dihydrofurans by Dual Palladium and Acid Catalysis

In contrast to the well-studied 1-vinylcyclobutanols, the reactivity of 3-vinylazetidin-3-ols 1 and 3-vinyloxetan-3-ols 2 under transition metal catalysis remains largely unexplored. We report herein their unique reactivity under dual palladium and acid ca ...
