A Convenient Synthesis of Symmetrically Functionalized 1,3-Dienes by Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Homocoupling of 1-Alkenylstannanes

Abstract
A convenient stereospecific method based on Pd(II)-catalyzed homocoupling of 1-alkenylstannanes is reported to synthesize symmetrically functionalized 1,3-dienes.
