Palladium-Catalysed Cross-Coupling of Iodovinylic Acids with Organometallic Reagents. Selective Synthesis of 3,3-Disubstituted Prop-2-enoic Acids

Abstract

3,3-Disubstituted prop-2-enoic acids were selectively prepared in good yields under mild experimental conditions via palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of 3-substituted 3-iodobut-2-enoic acids with miscellaneous organometallic reagents using dichlorobis(acetonitrile)palladium(II) as catalyst and DMF as solvent.

coupling reactions - carboxylic acids - organozinc reagents - organotin reagents - palladium catalyst

We found that these attempts required a higher temperature and removal of the excess acetic acid used was difficult.
