Abstract
An improved method for the nickel-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of alkenyl ethers is reported. This stereoconvergent protocol allows for the utilization of a wide range of alkenyl ethers and aryl boronic esters for the synthesis of variously substituted styrene derivatives. An olefinic mixture with respect to the alkenyl ethers can be employed, thereby circumventing the stereodefined synthesis of starting materials. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate a nickel-catalyzed olefin isomerization following initial stereoretentive cross-coupling.
