Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling involving primary and secondary alkyls, even in the presence of β-H, can be achieved using chelating phosphine ligands containing an electron-deficient olefin. The superior effects of the ligands were shown not only in the desired cross-coupling product yields but also in the fast reaction at mild conditions.
