Heck–Mizoroki coupling of vinyliodide and applications in the synthesis of dienes and trienes†
Abstract
Vinyliodide reacts chemoselectively under Heck–Mizoroki conditions with terminal alkenes, including vinylboronate esters, to give dienes. The resulting dienylboronates undergo Suzuki–Miyaura couplings with aryl, heteroaryl and alkenyl halides to access dienes and trienes.
