Regioselectivity in the initial addition of the enesulfonamide or enamide nucleophile to the platinum(II)-alkyne complex is important. Electron-rich arenes and heterocycles led to the formation of products resulting from an Initial 6-endo cyclization. Twenty-three examples of this process are presented.}, keywords = {CATALYZED CYCLOISOMERIZATIONS, CLOSING, CYCLIZATION ROUTE, DIASTEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS, ELECTRON-RICH OLEFINS, ENANTIOSELECTIVE REACTIONS, LYCOPODIUM ALKALOIDS, METATHESIS, N-ACYL-ENAMINES, NITROGEN-HETEROCYCLES, REARRANGEMENTS, SKELETAL}, isbn = {0022-3263}, url = {://000269656400004}, author = {Kozak, J.

Yields for this process range from 47\% to 99\%. The resulting functionalized 2-azahydrindans can be reacted further using the Diels-Alder reaction. Tandem cycloisomerization-cycloaddition reactions in one pot generate highly functionalized 1-azadecalin ring systems in a highly stereocontrolled manner.}, keywords = {COMPLEXES, cyclizations, ENAMIDES, ENANTIOSELECTIVE REACTIONS, ENYNES, ORGANIC-SYNTHESIS, palladium, platinum, REORGANIZATION, SKELETAL, STEREOCONTROLLED TOTAL-SYNTHESIS}, isbn = {1523-7060}, url = {://000225812300057}, author = {Harrison, T.
