Palladium-Catalyzed Three-Component Coupling Reactions: 1,1-Difunctionalization of Activated Alkenes
A three-component coupling reaction was developed to access 3,3-oxyarylpropionate derivatives. Each of the three reaction components can be varied, allowing the modular synthesis of a range of important chiral building blocks. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
