Abstract

The palladium-catalyzed reaction of the captodative olefin 3-(p-nitrobenzoyloxy)-3-buten-2-one (1a) with aryl and vinyl halides gave coupled products 4-aryl-and 4-vinyl-3-(p-nitrobenzoyloxy)-3-buten-2-ones, 4 and 6 respectively, with high Z stereoselection. (Ph3P)2PdCl2 also catalyzed cross-coupling alkylation, phenylation and vinylation with trialkylorganostannanes and bromo olefin (Z)-4-bromo-3-(p-nitrobenzoyloxy)-3-buten-2-one (2), providing the corresponding trisubstituted alkenes. For the preparation of n-butyl substituted derivative (Z)-3-(p-nitrobenzoyloxy)-3-octen-2-one (8b), the transmetallation with n-BuZnCl was a more efficient method. Retention of the Z configuration of 2 was in all cases maintained.
