Palladium-Catalyzed Regioselective Carbonylation of 2-Trifluoromethyl-1,3-enynes to Multisubstituted Conjugated Dienes.

In this communication, a palladium-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective carbonylation of 2-trifluoromethyl-1,3-enynes to afford multisubstituted conjugated dienes has been realized. This protocol features excellent regio- and exclusive (E)-stereoselectivity and a broad substrate scope with both amines and alcohols as the suitable reaction partners and has shown promising functional group tolerance.
