Abstract

A straightforward method for the synthesis of novel derivatives­ of zerumbone via palladium- and rhodium-catalyzed regio­- and diastereoselective 1,4-conjugate addition using boronic acids is developed. The reaction is general for aryl boronic acids containing both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups.
