Significance
Heck couplings of α,b-unsaturated tosylates and mesylates with N-acyl-N-vinylamines and vinyl ethers were highly regioselective for the α-position using Pd2(dba)3 and DPPF. This method provides a cheaper alternative to the use of toxic triflates. In all cases the regioselectivity was greater than 19:1 (branched:linear). Disubstituted amides did not react with either the mesylates or tosylates suggesting that the monosubstituted amide functionality plays an important role.
