Abstract:
A practical procedure for the palladium-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of various alkenyl tosylates with alkenyl MIDA boronates has been developed. Commercially available trans-bromoN-succinimidyl-bis(triphenylphosphine)]palladium(II) Pd(PPh3)2NBS] is an effective catalyst under the slow release conditions of MIDA boronates; with less activated alkenyl tosylates addition of the cheap, air-stable tricyclohexylphosphine tetrafluoroborate enhances reactivity.
