Abstract

An extremely simple and efficient palladium-catalyzed coupling procedure for the synthesis of functionalized styrenes and dienes is utilized to demonstrate how 4,4,6-trimethyl-2-vinyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane can be employed to selectively undergo Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with a range of halide substrates.
