Abstract

Abstract A highly efficient catalytic protocol for the isomerization of substituted amide-derived olefins is presented that successfully uses a hydride palladium catalyst system generated from [PdCl 2 (PPh 3) 2] and HSi (OEt) 3. The Z to E isomerization was carried out smoothly and resulted in geometrically pure substituted olefins. Apart from the cis–trans isomerization of double bonds, the selective reduction of terminal olefins and activated alkenes was ...
