Studies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Pd catalyzed reaction mechanism.Several mechanisms were proposed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> literature for <strong>the</strong> coupl<strong>in</strong>g<strong>and</strong> cyclization <strong>of</strong> alkynes under palladium catalysis. The mechanism <strong>of</strong>coupl<strong>in</strong>g between alkynes <strong>and</strong> aryliodide is well established. On <strong>the</strong>contrary, for <strong>the</strong> cyclizations <strong>of</strong> alkynes to benz<strong>of</strong>uranes or <strong>in</strong>dolesseveral hypo<strong>the</strong>ses are exist<strong>in</strong>g. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most complete descriptions <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> coupl<strong>in</strong>g reaction was reported by J.Burton 3 <strong>and</strong> coworkers <strong>in</strong> 1993(Scheme 6.16).
