Palladium(II)-catalyzed hydroarylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones with triarylstibines in the presence of silver acetate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(94)88042-5

Triarylstibines react with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones in acetic acid at 25°C in the presence of silver acetate and a catalytic amount of palladium(II) acetate to afford the hydroarylation products by conjugate addition in good yields.
