Irradiation-induced palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative desaturation enabled by a dual ligand system
Abstract
Production of alkenes through decarboxyolefination of carboxylates is a synthetically useful process. Here, the authors report a palladium/dual ligand-enabled decarboxylative desaturation reaction under mild irradiation conditions and apply it to the synthesis of Chondriamide A and C.
