Abstract

Bromide and chloride derivatives of Baylis–Hillman adducts have been demonstrated to react efficiently with triarylbismuths affording allylic arylated products in high yields under palladium-catalyzed conditions. Triarylbismuths have been employed in sub-stoichiometric amounts as multi-coupling and atom-efficient nucleophiles in these reactions. The reactivity of both allylic bromides and chlorides was found to be facile and equally efficient in ...
