Synthesis of allyl and alkyl vinyl ethers using an in situ prepared air-stable palladium catalyst. Efficient transfer vinylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.
An air-stable palladium catalyst formed in situ from commercially available components efficiently catalyzed the transfer vinylation between butyl vinyl ether and various allyl and alkyl alcohols to give the corresponding allyl and alkyl vinyl ethers in 61-98% yield in a single step.
