Synthesis of dienyl ketones via palladium(II)-catalyzed direct cross-coupling reactions between simple alkenes and vinyl ketones: Application to the synthesis of vitamin a1 and bornelone

摘要

An efficient and general method for the synthesis of conjugated dienyl ketones via palladium(II) acetate catalyzed direct cross-coupling between simple alkenes and vinyl ketones is reported. This method has been successfully applied for the synthesis of Vitamin A1 and bornelone.
