Recent Literature


A broad range of 1,3-dienes have been prepared by the Heck olefination of vinyl bromides using low loadings of [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl]2/cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]cyclopentane (Tedicyp) as the catalyst precursor. Both α- and β-substituted vinyl bromides undergo the Heck reaction with nonfunctionalised and functionalised alkenes such as acrylates, enones, styrenes.
