Abstract
Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of vinylboronic acids and electronically unbiased alkyl olefins in the presence of 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline as a ligand provides regioselective access to 1,3-disubstituted conjugated dienes in contrast to the observed regioselectivity from a traditional (nonoxidative) Heck reaction between a vinyl bromide and an alkene.
