Abstract
This review covers the palladium-catalyzed annelations of internal alkynes through reactions leading to the loss of only two hydrogens from the substrates. They occur via (i) dual C–H bond activation, (ii) both C–H and N–H bond activation, (iii) successive amino(or oxy)palladation and C–H bond activation, or (iv) C–H bond activation followed by a Heck-type process. The proposed mechanisms are described with, in some cases, personal commentary.
