Regio- and Stereoselective Palladium-Catalyzed Intermolecular Three-Component Aryletherification of Terminal Allenes

Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed three-component intermolecular aryl­etherification reaction of ferrocene-substituted allenes, aryl iodides and phenols or alcohols is reported. In this three-component reaction, two new C–C and C–O bonds are formed in one step with high regio- and stereoselectivity. The high selectivity obtained in this reaction can be attributed to the steric effect of the bulky ferrocene group.

Key words

aryletherification - allenes - palladium - stereoselectivity - intermolecular­ three-component reaction
