The allylsilane terminated domino Heck reaction of the enynes 4, 5, 6 and 7 to give the hitherto unknown polycyclic indanes 8, 9, 10 and 11 are described. The reactions proceed in a regio- and stereoselective way with good yields allowing the efficient formation of substituted tricyclic compounds from monocyclic substrates by forming two cyclopentane moieties in one step and thus, showing again the usefulness of applying an allylsilane moiety as the terminating group in the Heck reaction.
