Abstract

Potassium vinyl and alkenyltrifluoroborates are cross-coupled with aryl and heteroaryl bromides using 1 mol% Pd loading of 4-hydroxyacetophenone oxime derived palladacycle or Pd (OAc) 2 as precatalysts, K2CO3 as base, and TBAB as additive and water reflux under conventional or microwave heating to afford styrenes, stilbenoids, and alkenylbenzenes. These borates can be cross-coupled diastereoselectively with allyl and benzyl chlorides ...
