Y. Kobayashi et al., NICKEL-CATALYZED COUPLING REACTION OF ALLYLIC CARBONATES WITH VINYLICBORATES DERIVED FROM ACETYLENES VIA HYDROBORATION, Synlett, (5), 1995, pp. 571-572
Coupling reaction of the secondary 1,3-disubstituted allylic carbonate
s and the vinylboronates, prepared by monohydroboration of acetylenes
with catecholborane, is effected after derivation to the berates with
MeLi and in the presence of NiCl2(dppf) to afford 3-alkyl-1,4-pentadie
nes in good yields.
