Abstract

AbstractA method for 5‐exo‐trig‐spiroannulations is described which uses the Pd complex trans‐bis(μ‐acetato)bis[o‐(di‐o‐tolylphosphanyl)benzyl]dipalladium(II) as catalyst in cyclisation reactions of dienes with the chiral auxiliary (2R)‐2,5‐dihydro‐2‐isopropyl‐3,6‐dimethoxypyrazine. Extensive NMR assignments are described and used in structure determinations. Isomer identification has been verified by a separate unequivocal synthesis. Nickel catalysis with MeMgBr was compatible with cross‐coupling in the spiroannulated chiral auxiliary. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003)
