Catalytic cross-dimerisation giving reactive borylated polyenes toward cross-coupling?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2019-08-16 DOI: 10.1039/C9CC05930J

Abstract

A series of borylated conjugated trienes and skipped dienes is prepared by Ru-catalysed cross-dimerisation using alkynyl-, dienyl-, and vinyl boronates. These products are used as synthetic building blocks for polyene substructures by subsequent Pd-catalysed cross-coupling in a one-pot vessel without deprotection.
