Palladium-catalyzed alkenylation of ketone enolates under mild conditions

Org Lett. 2014 Aug 1;16(15):3970-3. doi: 10.1021/ol5017965. Epub 2014 Jul 17.

Abstract

A protocol for a mild, catalytic, intermolecular alkenylation of ketone enolates has been developed using a Pd/Q-Phos catalyst. Efficient intermolecular coupling of a variety of ketones with alkenyl bromides was achieved with a slight excess of LiHMDS and temperatures down to 0 °C.
