A Novel Palladium Catalyst for Cross-Coupling of Allyl Acetates with Arylboronic Acids

Abstract

The palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions of various arylboronic acids and allylic acetates take place readily under mild conditions. The choice of ligand in the palladium catalyst and the solvent are critical to the yields of coupled products.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2002)
