9-(Diphenylphosphino)anthracene-based phosphapalladacycle catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to electron-deficient alkenes
9-(Diphenylphosphino)anthracene-based phosphapalladacycle catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to electron-deficient alkenes such asα,β-unsaturated ketones, esters, nitrile and nitroalkenes gave corresponding β-arylated alkanes in good yields and achieved TON up to 700.
