Abstract

A copper-free palladium-catalyzed cross coupling of vinyl tosylate (2) and terminal acetylenes was investigated, affording a convenient and efficient method for construction of an sp–sp2 carbon carbon bond. The tosylate (2) derived from 1, 3-cyclohexanedione was reacted with terminal acetylene under the copper-free conditions at ambient temperature, in the presence of palladium acetate and triphenylphosphine, to provide the conjugated en- ...
