Palladium-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction of organic halides, norbornadiene and terminal alkynes

A three-component coupling reaction of organic halides, including aryl halides, methyl iodine, alkenyl iodine and bromoalkynes, with norbornadiene and terminal alkynes catalyzed by a palladium complex and a phase transfer agent in the presence of aqueous NaOH gave 5,6-disubstituted norbornene derivatives in good yields.
