Abstract

Pd-catalyzed arylations of 2-exo-cyano-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-endo-yl acetate and 7-oxabicycio[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-one are regio- and stereoselective giving products of H-2(HCOOH) and Me(3)SiC=H coupling in which the aryl group (4-MeOC(6)H(4)) prefers the exo position of C(5) whereas the Pd-catatyzed vinylations with methyl-2-iodoacrylate prefers the exo position of C(6) center.
