Palladium-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Cross-Coupling of Baylis-Hillman Adducts and Bimetals: A Novel Method for the Synthesis of Substituted Allylsilanes and Allylgermanes
Cross-coupling reactions between Baylis-Hillman acetate adducts and bimetallic reagents (Si-Si,Ge-Ge) catalyzed by a phosphine-free palladium complex are described. 3-Substituted-2-carbonylallylsilanesand allylgermanes were isolated in high yields. Thecross-coupling reactions are regio- and stereoselective.
