In this report, the desymmetrization of cyclic enones under relay Heck conditions with an array of aryl boronic acids, alkenyl triflates and indole derivatives is described. This method grants facile access to diverse γ-functionalized cyclopentenones and δ-functionalized cycloheptenones. Using this approach, a formal synthesis of (S)-baclofen was completed in high yield and excellent enantioselectivity.
