Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Mar 23;59(25):3727-3730. doi: 10.1039/d2cc06871k.

Abstract

The reactivity of a new type of organometallic intermediate, vinylidene-π-allyl palladium species, has been demonstrated: the reaction between 4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates and stabilized carbon nucleophiles afforded functionalized 1,2,3,-butatriene compounds in moderate to high yields and excellent regioselectivities.
