Abstract

Abstract Image

A Pd(II)-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acid to α,β-unsaturated ketones, aldehydes, esters, etc. in the presence of 2,2‘-bipyridine was developed. A mechanism involving transmetalation, insertion of the carbon−carbon double bond into the C−Pd bond, and protonolysis of the resulting C−Pd bond is proposed. The reaction conditions are mild and the yield is high. The presence of 2,2‘-bipyridine is crucial for the reaction to inhibit β-hydride elimination.
