22. Recently, we reported the Pd-catalyzed carbocyclization of alkynyl-acetals in which the cleavage of the C-O bond of o-alkynylbenzaldehyde acetal produces the cationic intermediate and both the triple bond and the acetal group are bonded to the metal. Ring closure of the cationic intermediates leads to the cyclic vinyl cations, which are trapped by Pd-OR. (a) Nakamura, I.; Bajracharya, G. B.; Wu, H.; Oishi, K.; Mizushima, Y.; Gridnev, I.
