Abstract

Heteroaromatic 2-pyridyl tosylates were successfully applied as electrophiles in palladium(0)-catalyzed Mizoroki–Heck-coupling reactions to electron-rich olefins with complete α-regioselectivity. This protocol represents a general strategy for the application of pyridyl tosylates and mesylates in the Mizoroki–Heck coupling. The catalytic system also proved adaptable to changes in the heteroaromatic core as well as large-scale applications. Finally, the ...
