X. Huang et Am. Sun, PALLADIUM-CATALYZED CROSS-COUPLING OF ORGANOZIRCONIUM COMPOUNDS WITH DIARYLIODONIUM SALTS, Synthetic communications, 28(5), 1998, pp. 773-778
The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of diaryliodonium salt
s with organozirconium compounds was achieved for about 1-1.5 hrs at r
oom temperature and the reaction proceeded with retention of configura
tion to provide a new convenient method for the synthesis of (E)-disub
stituted alkenes.
