Synthesis of 1,4-diketones via palladium/photo-cocatalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling†
Abstract
Herein we report a palladium/TBADT-cocatalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction, enabling the synthesis of a variety of 1,4-diketones starting from simple allylic alcohols and aldehydes as the precursors under mild reaction conditions.
