Abstract

Alkenyltrifluoroborates can be cross-coupled with allyl and benzyl chlorides using KOH as base in acetone-water (3:2) at 50 °C and low catalyst loadings of a 4-hydroxyacetophenone oxime derived palladacycle giving the corresponding 1,4-dienes and allylarenes, respectively. The use of overheated water as solvent and K₂CO₃ as base allows a coupling of alkenyltrifluoroborates with aryl and heteroaryl bromides.
