Abstract

A hydroxy group chelation-assisted stereospecific oxidative cross-coupling reaction between alkenes was developed under mild reaction conditions. In the presence of palladium catalyst, the alkenes tethered with hydroxy functionality can couple efficiently with electron-deficient alkenes to form the corresponding multi-substituted olefin products. The hydroxy group on the substrate could play dual roles in reaction, acting as the directing group for alkenyl C-H bond activation and controlling the stereoselectivity of the products.
