Catalytic intermolecular allyl–allyl cross-couplings between alcohols and boronates†
Abstract
We developed catalytic intermolecular C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-couplings between various allyl alcohols and allyl boronates, which proceeded smoothly in the presence of nickel(0) under mild conditions to form 1,5-dienes with excellent linear- and γ-selectivity; the use of
