Abstract

[reaction: see text] 2-Iodo-4-(phenylchalcogenyl)-1-butenes 2 or 3, which are derived from the ring-opening reaction of methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) 1 by iodine, can be applied to some palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions such as the Sonogashira, Heck, Kumada, Suzuki, and Negishi reactions under mild conditions to give the corresponding coupling products in good yields. These reactions proceeded smoothly at room temperature (20 degrees C) in most cases without any phosphine ligand and additive. The phenylchalcogenyl group plays an important role in the reactions and a plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed.
