Abstract

Abstract The coupling of arylboronic acids with electron-rich allylic bromides is accomplished in the absence of any transition-metal catalyst through conventional heating. The reaction is completely regioselective, affording only the α-coupled product, and can be carried out under mild aerobic conditions in an organic solvent; the presence of a base is required.
