title: Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of boron derivatives with a lactam-derived N-Boc enol triflate
abstract: [formula: see text] The cross-coupling reaction of 2-(1-alkenyl)-1,3,2-benzodioxaboroles, obtained from alkynes and catecholborane, and other boron derivatives with a lactam-derived N-Boc enol triflate occurred under very mild conditions in a THF-water medium employing (Ph3P)2PdCl2 as a catalyst, providing the corresponding 6-substituted N-Boc 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyridines in high yields.
