Abstract

Allylic carbonates were efficiently cross-coupled with triarylbismuths under palladium catalysis. Using the optimized protocol, arylations of various allylic carbonates were carried out with triarylbismuths to afford high yields of 1, 3-disubstituted propenes in regio-and chemo-selective manner. Triarylbismuths were employed as multi-coupling atom-efficient organometallic nucleophiles in sub-stoichiometric amounts in all the reactions.
