Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of acetates of Baylis-Hillman adducts and potassium organotrifluoroborates.
[reaction: see text] The cross-coupling of potassium organotrifluoroborates and acetates of Baylis-Hillman adducts proceeds readily in moderate to excellent yield in the presence of Pd(OAc)(2). The reaction tolerates hindered trifluoroborate salts, and the process is stereoselective.
