title: Direct olefination of benzaldehydes into 1,3-diarylpropenes via a copper-catalyzed heterodomino Knoevenagel-decarboxylation-Csp(3)-H activation sequence.
abstract: Copper-catalyzed direct olefination of benzaldehydes into 1,3-diarylpropenes by a novel domino Knoevenagel-decarboxylation-Csp(3)-H activation sequence is reported. This method provides a concise and effective route toward the synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,3-diarylpropene derivatives.
