Table 2. Cross-Coupling of Boronic Ester 2a with Different Alkenyl Ethers 1b–m.
All reactions were carried out using 1b–m (0.27 mmol) and 2a (0.33 mmol, 120 mol %) in 1.4 mL of toluene. Yields were individually obtained after purification by column chromatography on silica gel. The E/Z ratio was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis of the unpurified mixture of products.
Reaction was carried out at 105 °C.
Reaction was carried out using Ni(acac)2 (20 mol %), DIBAL (40 mol %), and PCy3 (60 mol %) in 1.4 mL of toluene at 105 °C.
