gamma-Selective cross-coupling of potassium allyltrifluoroborates with aryl and 1-alkenyl bromides catalyzed by a Pd(OAc)(2)/D-t-BPF complex
Cross-coupling reactions of [RCH=CHCH2BF3]K with aryl or I -alkenyl bromides occurred at the y-carbon of an allylborane moiety with perfect regioselectivities (> 99%) in the presence of a palladium/D-t-BPF complex and K2CO3 in refluxing THF.
