title: Rapid construction of multisubstituted olefin structures using vinylboronate ester platform leading to highly fluorescent materials.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A catalytic one-pot triarylation on the C=C core of vinylboronate pinacol ester (1) produces extended pi-systems based on a multisubstituted olefin structure very rapidly. We established an efficient protocol for the Pd-catalyzed double C-H arylation of 1 with aryl halides, which was successfully integrated with C-B arylation with aryl halides (cross-coupling) in one pot. By using this method, several highly fluorescent materials with a wide range of color variations (blue to red) were discovered.
