Pd-Catalyzed stereospecific allyl–aryl coupling of allylic alcohols with arylboronic acids†
Abstract
An efficient method for Pd-catalyzed stereospecific allyl–aryl coupling of allylic alcohols with arylboronic acids has been described. The reactions proceeded smoothly in the presence of Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 and racemic BINAP under mild and neutral conditions, affording allyl–aryl coupling products in moderate to high yields with excellent stereospecificities.
