Popis: A palladium-catalyzed reaction of methylenespiropentane (11) with iodobenzene (12) under typical Heck conditions [Pd(OAc)2, PPh3, Et3N, DMF] produced a mixture of the unstable [3]dendralene 13 and allylidenecyclopropane 14 in 38 % yield. When an analogous reaction with iodobenzene was carried out in the presence of morpholine (25) and of tris(2-furyl)phosphane (TFP) instead of triphenylphosphane, the dienes 26, 28 and 31 were generated by nucleophilic trapping of π-allylpalladium intermediates 30 and 32. The cross coupling of methylenespiropentane (11) with the functionalized aryl iodides 33a–g in the presence of a palladium precatalyst [Pd(OAc)2, TFP, Et3N, DMF] at 80 °C, 3 h, provided the seven-membered 3,4-dimethylene-substituted heterocycles 34a–g and 35b which, upon addition of dimethyl fumarate (19), underwent Diels–Alder reactions to furnish bicyclic and higher oligocyclic dihydrobenzoxepine and-benzazepine derivatives 36a–g and 37b, yet in rather moderate yields of 18–29 % only. The overall process constitutes a one-pot, two-step, three-component queuing cascade.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
