J. Bohmer et R. Grigg, Pd(0)-catalysed formation of diarylated dienes from propargyl carbonates and organoboron and organotin(IV) reagents, TETRAHEDRON, 55(47), 1999, pp. 13463-13470
The 1,1-dimethylbutyne-1,4-diol derivative 1 reacts with 2 mol. equiv. of o
rganoboron (NaBPh4 arylboronic acids) and organotin(IV) reagents to give 1,
1-dimethyl-2,3-disubstituted butadienes in good yield via allenylpalladium(
II) and vinylidene-pi-allylpalladium(II) intermediates. Unsubstituted ester
s 6 and butyne dicarbonate 7 lead to symmetrical dienes 8. (C) 1999 Elsevie
