Allylic ethers as educts for Suzuki-Miyaura couplings in water at room temperature.
The first examples of Suzuki-Miyaura couplings of allylic ethers are reported. These can be done not only under very mild room-temperature conditions but also in water as the only medium. The process is made possible by micellar catalysis using the designer surfactant PTS.
