Stereospecific palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative C(sp3)- C(sp2) Coupling of 2,5-Cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylic Acid Derivatives with Aryl Iodides
Walk on the same side! The title reaction occurs by means of highly stereospecific 1,3-metal migration. The starting carboxylic acids are readily prepared by Birch reduction, and the developed protocol provides an efficient route to enantiomerically pure
