Three ring circus: The title reaction can efficiently provide functionalized polycyclic compounds containing cyclobutene (see scheme; PG=protecting group) or aza-cyclooctene moieties in a highly regio- and diastereoselective manner with moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions. The scope and limitations are disclosed and plausible reaction mechanisms are discussed.
