Conclusions

• We have found a novel Pd(II)-catalysed halocyclisation and/or bicyclisationWe have found a novel Pd(II)-catalysed halocyclisation and/or bicyclisation of aminoalkenitols providing chloromethyl-piperidines and/or of aminoalkenitols providing chloromethyl-piperidines and/or oxaoxa-- azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanesazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes
