Palladium catalysed alkylative dimerization between pronucleophiles and vinyltins

Abstract

In the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd₂(dba)₃·CHCl₃ and dppb, the reaction of pronucleophiles 1 with vinyltins 2 gives the corresponding alkylative dimerization products of the vinyl group, 1,4-disubstituted butene derivatives 3, in good to high yields.
