Abstract

Abstract The cross coupling reaction of aryl and vinyl boronic acids and allylic alcohols proceeded smoothly in toluene or dioxane in the presence of a (triphenyl phosphite) palladium catalyst to give the corresponding allylbenzene derivatives and 1, 4-dienes. Neither cocatalysts for promoting C− O bond cleavage of allylic alcohols nor bases for activation of organoboron reagents are required for promoting the coupling process.(© ...
