title: A versatile palladium catalyst system for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of alkenyl tosylates and mesylates.
abstract: A general and effective palladium system for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of alkenyl electrophiles under mild reaction conditions is reported. With the Pd(OAc)(2)/CM-phos system, a variety of alkenyl tosylates are coupled well with ArB(OH)(2). Moreover, the first successful examples of using alkenyl mesylates in alkenylation are also described.
