Reaction conditions have been developed for palladium-catalyzed terminal (β-) arylation of acyclic vinyl ethers with high regioselectivity using inexpensive aryl chlorides as starting materials and the P (t-Bu) 3 releasing preligand [(t-Bu3) PH] BF4 as the key additive. This swift and straightforward protocol exploits non-inert conditions and controlled microwave heating to minimize handling and processing times and uses aqueous DMF or ...
