Cross-coupling reactions, such as Buchwald-Hartwig arylamination and direct intramolecular biaryl coupling by C-H activation, were carried out using various Palladium-N-heterocyclic carbenes (Pd-NHC) as catalysts. The yields were good to excellent. The latter strategy was adopted to transform two dibenzylbutane lignans, isolated from the leaves of Ocotea macrophylla (Lauraceae), into the corresponding dibenzocyclooctane lignans in good overall yields.
