2-Ethoxy-2-propenyl Diethyl Phosphate. An Efficient Halo Acetone Equivalent for the Pd-Catalyzed Cross-coupling with Tin Enolates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1987.1237

In the presence of Pd(0) complexes, 2-ethoxy-2-propenyl diethyl phosphate was found to react with organotins to give the corresponding coupling products, showing to be a more efficient halo acetone equivalent compared with the corresponding acetate or carbonate.Reaction with tin enolates gave the 1,4-diketone in moderate to good yields.
