Palladium-Catalyzed Cascade Saegusa-Heck Reaction: Synthesis of β,β-Diarylacroleins from Arylpropanals and Aryl Iodides

摘要

An efficient and convenient Pd-catalyzed Saegusa- Heck cascade protocol was developed, and its potential use in the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical β,β-diarylacroleins in moderate to high yields was investigated.
