title: Palladium(0) nanoparticle catalyzed cross-coupling of allyl acetates and aryl and vinyl siloxanes.
abstract: The cross-coupling of allyl acetates and aryl and vinyl siloxanes proceeds readily by the catalysis of in situ generated palladium(0) nanoparticles. The reactions are stereoselective, and (E)-coupling products are obtained both from cis and trans allyl acetates. The coupling with vinyl siloxanes provides a novel protocol for the synthesis of 1,4-pentadienes.
