Metal-catalyzed allene cycloisomerizations provide rapid entry into five-membered carbocyclic frameworks, a common motif in natural products and pharmaceuticals. While both Au(I) and Pd(0)-catalyzed allene cycloisomerizations give 5-<i>endo</i>-<i>dig</i> cyclization, Pd prefers the <i>syn</i> diastereomer in contrast to the <i>anti</i> isomer observed with Au. The change in stereoselectivity is proposed to arise from buildup of A<sup>1,3</sup> strain during the key carbopalladation step to furn ...[more]
