Abstract
The reaction of aryl halides with alk-l-enylboranes, readily obtainable via monohydroboration of acetylenes, provides a conveninet new method for stereoselective synthesis of arylated (E)-alkenes in high yields; these reactions are effectively catalysed by tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium and bases such as sodium ethoxide.
