Abstract

This Letter outlines palladium-catalyzed regioselective (Markovnikov’s) addition of aryl boronic acids to propargyl 1,3-dicarbonyl alkyne to accomplish olefinic/diene 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds without the need for water workup. This methodology showcases remarkable performance with wide-ranging substrate diversity, achieving high yields while employing merely 3 mol % [Pd] alongside a mild KOAc base. Moreover, the utility of dicarbonyl olefins is exemplified through their application in intramolecular cyclization and debenzoylation reactions to access valuable trisubstituted pyran building blocks and (E)-4-methylene-1,6-diphenylhex-5-en-1-one synthesis.
