Palladium-catalyzed highly regio- and stereoselective addition of organoboronic acids to allenes in the presence of AcOH.
The Pd(0)-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective addition of organoboronic acids to allenes leads to stereodefined tri- or tetrasubstituted alkenes. Furthermore, this method shows high substitutent-loading capability and tolerance of various substitutents. A hydropalladation-Suzuki coupling mechanism, which may account for the regio- and stereoselectivity, is proposed.
