Construction of polysubstituted olefins through Ni-Catalyzed direct activation of Alkenyl C-O of substituted alkenyl acetates

摘要

(Figure Presented) Reliable companion: For the first time cross-coupling between alkenyl acetates and arylboroxines/PhZnCl has been developed via Ni catalysis. Alkenyl acetates could be well-differ-entiated from aryl acetates (see scheme). This reliable method provides a convenient pathway to construct polysubstituted styrene derivatives.
