Abstract

A simple and efficient protocol for the Heck reaction of cyclic alkenones with electron-rich aryl bromides has been developed. A ligand combination of X-Phos and tri-tert-butylphosphonium hydrogen tetrafluoroborate in the presence of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 and Na2CO3 in DMSO was found to be efficient and selective for electron-rich aryl bromides with high substrate scope for cyclic alkenones.
