Abstract

The palladium complex, which is generated in situ from Pd(η 3-C3H5)Cp and tris(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphine, catalyzed the [4+2] cycloaddition of o-(silylmethyl)benzyl carbonates with alkenes. The reaction of the benzyl esters with methyl crotonate gave methyl 3-methyltetralin-2-carboxylate in 84% yield with 2% catalyst loading.
