Herein, a novel and scalable synthesis of electron rich 1,3-dienes based on KOtBu mediated isomerization of propargylic ether derivatives was developed. This new process features easy handling reaction conditions, transition-metal-free isomerization, high isolated yields, and most of all, it could be used for modification of natural products at late stage functionalizations.

A convenient method for the synthesis of 1,3-dienes from readily available compounds is reported. 2-Aryoxy-1,3-dienes are produced stereoselectively by a nickel-catalyzed reaction of propargyl carbonates with phenols. Functional group tolerance is broad to allow iodo, formyl, and boryl groups. The resulting 1,3-dienes are of much synthetic value because they can participate in a wide variety of reactions, including the Diels-Alder reaction.
Allylic ionization versus oxidative addition into vinyl C-X bonds by Pd with polyfunctional olefin templates

The chemoselectivity of activation by a (PPh3)4Pd catalyst on a series of small, olefin-based compounds that were substituted with a variety of allylic and vinylic functional groups was studied. Of particular note, the allylic acetate of 1-acetoxy-2-bromo-2-propene (7) was selectively ionized by Pd in the presence of a malonate nucleophile, while oxidative addition of the C-Br bond to Pd occurred exclusively in the presence of a boronic acid nucleophile. When the acetate nucleophile was used, no ionization of the acetate leaving group occurred at all, which was proven by the use of deuterium-labeled substrates (e.g., 11). This report demonstrates that the nucleophile interacts in some way with Pd prior to catalyst activation of the substrate. Certainly in the case of the malonate nucleophile, this is without precedent and contradicts the central dogma of how these proposed catalytic cycles operate.
