General Procedure for One-Pot Synthesis of Multisubsuti-
tuted Enol Esters. To a solution of alkynylbenzene 1 (0.1 mmol)
and NIS in 1,2-dichloroethane (0.5 mL) was added AcOH, and the
mixture was stirred at 70 °C for 1 h. A 10% Na2S2O3 aqueous solution
was added for quenching and the mixture stirred for 5 min. Then
toluene, boronic acid (1.5 equiv), Pd catalyst (0.1 equiv), and K2CO3
(3 equiv) were added, and the mixture was stirred at 90 °C. The
aqueous layer was extracted with AcOEt (two times). The combined
organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The crude
product was purified by column chromatography to give 4 and 5.
