Abstract

A highly efficient head-to-tail dimerization of a styrene was developed using a cationic palladium(II)-catalyzed selective CC bond forming reaction. The complex [AllylPd(PPh3)]+OTf−, which is believed to generate ‘palladium hydride’ (PdH), catalyzed the dimerization of various styrenes in excellent yields as single isomers. This Pd(II)-catalyzed reaction provides a new economical CC bond forming method.
