Abstract

The Pd(0) and Pd(II)-catalysed cyclisation/functionalisation reactions of acyclic carbohydrate-derived 1,1-diacetoxy-2,7-diene and 1,1-diacetoxy-2- en-7-yne compounds proceeded in a stereospecific fashion to furnish chiral, multi-functionalised furanoid and cyclopentanoid products. The products contained valuable enolacetate moieties, which can be further elaborated to enable the facile entry to an array of substituted five membered ring compounds.
