Materials (Basel). 2015 Oct 28;8(11):7250-7256. doi: 10.3390/ma8115378.

Abstract

A convenient methodology for the highly stereoselective synthesis of unsymmetrical (1E,3E)-1,4-disubstituted 1,3-dienes based on palladium-catalyzed Hiyama cross-coupling reaction of 1-(triethoxysilyl)-substituted buta-1,3-dienes with aryl iodides is reported.

Keywords: C–C bond formation; Hiyama cross-coupling; buta-1,3-dienes; organosilicon dienes; palladium catalyst.
