A palladium-catalyzed, silver-mediated Heck coupling between arylvinyl MIDA boronate esters and aryl iodides is disclosed. The reaction provides an efficient and modular access to a range of 1,1-diaryl alkenyl MIDA boronates that can be easily transformed into triarylethylene compounds through a Suzuki coupling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
