title: Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of terminal acetals via highly selective anti-Markovnikov nucleophilic attack of pinacol on vinylarenes, allyl ethers, and 1,5-dienes.
abstract: A palladium-catalyzed reaction of vinylarenes, allyl ethers, and 1,5-dienes with pinacol proceeded via a selective anti-Markovnikov nucleophilic attack to afford corresponding terminal acetals as major products. The bulkiness of pinacol was found to be critical in controlling the regioselectivity.
