Org Biomol Chem. 2012 Feb 28;10(8):1670-9. doi: 10.1039/c2ob06950d. Epub 2012 Jan 16.

Abstract

A dually NHC-catalyzed reaction cascade comprising an initial hydroacylation of an activated ketone and subsequent Sonogashira/Heck/Suzuki coupling in the same pot is reported. The reaction mechanism and scope of the methodology is presented.
