This report discloses a novel Pd-catalyzed sequential
three-component
multiple reaction of alkenes, bromoalkynes, and boronic acids using
alkenes as hydride and alkenyl donors, leading to highly stereoselective
assembly of (Z,E)-1,3-diene derivatives.
Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the generation and reutilization
of palladium hydride species are critical to the success of this transformation.
In addition, the good functional group compatibility, late-stage modification,
and investigation of photophysical properties of 1,3-diene products
illustrate the synthetic value of this strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
