title: Palladium-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling reaction of arylboronic acids with diazoesters for stereoselective synthesis of (E)-α,β-diarylacrylates.
abstract: A Pd-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling reaction of arylboronic acids with α-diazoesters was achieved using molecular oxygen as the sole reoxidant, and E-α,β-diarylacrylates were obtained in good yields and >20:1 E-to-Z selectivity.
