A Pd(OAc)(2)-catalyzed reaction of 2,3-alkadienyl malonates or 2,3-allenols with o-iodobenzaldehyde or its N-tosyl imine occurred smoothly in MeCN at 80 °C to form the oxa- or aza-bridged benzocycloheptane derivatives with important biological potential. With the optically active 2,3-allenols, the absolute configurations of all the three chiral centers have been conveniently established.
