Pd-Catalyzed Regioselective 1,2-Difunctionalization of Vinylarenes with Alkenyl Triflates and Aryl Boronic Acids at Ambient Temperature

Abstract

A Pd-catalyzed highly regioselective 1,2-difunctionalization of vinylarenes is disclosed in which multisubstituted olefins are efficiently and conveniently constructed under ambient temperature with good compatibility and a broad substrate scope. Notably, a quarternary carbon center could be readily built up from 1,1-disubstituted styrenes, which are big challenges in the previous methods.
