A palladium-catalyzed annulation of acyl fluorides with norbornene is described. This study reports the first example of an annulation of acyl fluorides in the presence of a transition-metal catalyst. Polycyclic ketones are obtained from the cleavage of the C-F and C-H bonds of the acyl fluoride and the rearrangement of the carbonyl moiety by decarbonylation and CO reinsertion.
