U. Bremberg et al., Rapid and stereoselective C-C, C-O, C-N and C-S couplings via microwave accelerated palladium-catalyzed allylic substitutions, SYNTHESIS-S, (7), 2000, pp. 1004-1008
Palladium-catalyzed substitution of cyclohex-2-en-1-yl ethyl carbonate with
neutral C-, O-, and N-nucleophiles was achieved in 1-2 minutes using micro
wave flash hearing. Enantioselectivities up to 96% were observed. Ionic nuc
leophiles tended to result in lower ee. With S-nucleophiles problems with t
he stability of the nucleophile were encountered.
