Sp3-sp2 C-C bond formation via Bronsted acid trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-catalyzed direct coupling reaction of alcohols and alkenes
A novel and efficient trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-catalyzed sp 3-sp2 Ci£C bond formation reaction through the direct coupling of alcohols with alkenes has been realized under mild conditions. The present protocol provides an attractive approach to a diverse range of polysubstituted olefins in good to excellent yields with high stereo- and regioselectivities. Copyright
