title: Synthesis of dienyl ketones via palladium(II)-catalyzed direct cross-coupling reactions between simple alkenes and vinyl ketones: application to the synthesis of vitamin A1 and bornelone.
abstract: An efficient and general method for the synthesis of conjugated dienyl ketones via palladium(II) acetate catalyzed direct cross-coupling between simple alkenes and vinyl ketones is reported. This method has been successfully applied for the synthesis of Vitamin A1 and bornelone.
