Eg. Occhiato et al., Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of boron derivatives with a lactam-derived N-Boc enol triflate, ORG LETT, 2(9), 2000, pp. 1241-1242
The cross-coupling reaction of 2-(1-alkenyl)-1,3,2-benzodioxaboroles, obtai
ned from alkynes and catecholborane, and other boron derivatives with a lac
tam-derived N-Boc enol triflate occurred under very mild conditions in a TH
F-water medium employing (Ph3P)(2)PdCl2 as a catalyst, providing the corres
ponding B-substituted N-Boc 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyridines in high yields.
